BTW, MPX was clearly not the right thing. Nobody really wanted it. The world would be a better place if these address-bit-ignoring things (ARM TBI, AMD UAI, Intel LAM) had been implemented years ago instead all the effort spent on MPX.
Believe me, I know. I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into MPX for Linux.
Disclaimer: If you didn't figure it out by now, I work on Linux at Intel.
