My plan with breaking out the NUMA emulation code was to merge my i386 stuff with the x86_64 code, but as you say - it might be overkill. What do you think about the fact that real NUMA nodes now can be divided into several smaller nodes? / magnus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
