Here's yet another version of a patch to implement per-arch SD_*_INITs. This follows the same basic idea of my last patch, but 1) defines an arch-specific SD_NODE_INIT for the 4 NUMA arches (i386, x86_64, IA64 & PPC64), 2) defines *default* SD_CPU_INIT & SD_SIBLING_INIT for *all* arches, with the possibility of them being overridden by simply defining an arch-specific version in include/asm/topology.h. The motivation behind the third version of this patch is that Martin feels that there should be no "default" NUMA initializer because NUMA characteristics are *very* arch/platform specific, and hence a "default" NUMA initializer can only lead to confusion. I agree with most of that, but don't quite see as much harm in having a default as he does. Nevertheless, to keep him quiet, I've run up this version of the patch. Martin, please run this through your magic test suite and make sure I didn't break anything trivial. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
