Including the consolidation patch?


Yep.


Looks pretty neat. It may even be usable in the generic setup code if more
architectures start needing it.

For now, put it in your arch code when it is ready to be merged up of
course.
I would be very interested to see what sort of performance improvements you
get out of the scheduler...


Ok, this new patch has no effect on platforms that don't define ARCH_HAS_SCHED_DOMAIN, but changes the arch specific callback. I didn't want to duplicate all the code you just ripped out, but if you think that's best I can...


Except that architectures now can't override arch_init_sched_domains now.
Hmm.. I guess yours is the right way to go and we could put it in generic
code. Well get back to me when you have something that does the right thing
for you on your big systems.

Thanks.
