Wish that were true, we wouldn't be all constrained by all this legacy software.. ;-) Anyway, there's plenty of CPU<->NODE assumptions in the kernel as well, fixing those will be 'interesting' at best, as for userspace, since its a user-driven tool revamping the topology the user gets to keep the pieces when he runs that while some NUMA aware proglet is running. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
