We are running out of TI flags for x86. This patchset removes several usages of TIF_IA32 and TIF_x32 in preparation to reclaim these flags. After these cleanups, there is still one more user for both of them, which I need to take a better look before removing.
Many of the ideas for this patchset came from Andy Lutomirski (Thank you!) These were tested by exercising these paths with x32 and ia32 binaries.
