[PATCH 1/2] smpboot,idle: Optimize calls to smp_processor_id() in idle_threads_init()

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat
Date: Thu May 24 2012 - 11:11:45 EST


While trying to initialize idle threads for all cpus, idle_threads_init()
calls smp_processor_id() in a loop, which is unnecessary. The intent
is to initialize idle threads for all non-boot cpus. So just use a variable
to note the boot cpu and use it in the loop.
