[PATCH 0/2] wireguard-linux-compat: grsecurity compat patches

[Mathias Krause]

Hi Aymeric,

the changes look good to me -- quite what we already had in grsec. Just
one more nit. The constraints for the 'out' parameter in fmul(),
fmul2(), fsqr() and fsqr2() can be further lifted to "rm" as 'out' is
only referenced once. This allows gcc to choose either a register or a
memory operand, as it sees fit. In our experiments the latter lead to
much better code gen.

Thanks,
Mathias
