Even 1-2MB overhead would be too much for distributors I think. Ideally there must be near zero overhead for possible CPUs (and I see no principle reason why this is not possible) Worst case a low few hundred KBs, but even that would be much. There are the cpusets which get passed around, but these are only one bit per possible CPU. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
