[Pull Request] [Natty] x86: clear XD_DISABLED flag on Intel

[Kees Cook]

Hi,

This is from a branch of x86 tip:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-tip.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/x86/cpu

I'd like to get it into Ubuntu now to help with testing so it can move more
quickly into Linus's tree upstream.


The following changes since commit e7cd9edbade47def723bd06dd082afe20427e26a:

  UBUNTU: updateconfigs following rebase to v2.6.37-rc2 (2010-11-16 13:18:04 +0000)

are available in the git repository at:
  git://kernel.ubuntu.com/kees/ubuntu-natty.git master
