x86: remove set_kernel_exec()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The SMP trampoline always runs in real mode, so making it executable
in the page tables doesn't make much sense because it executes
before page tables are set up. That was the only user of
set_kernel_exec(). Remove set_kernel_exec().
