[PATCH] - Fix stack overflow for large values of MAX_APICS

From: Jack Steiner
Date: Thu Jun 19 2008 - 22:51:56 EST


physid_mask_of_physid() causes a huge stack (12k) to be created if the
number of APICS is large. Replace physid_mask_of_physid() with a
new function that does not create large stacks. This is a problem only
on large x86_64 systems.

Ingo - the "Increase MAX_APICS patch" can now works. Do you
want me to resend???
