Thanks.

On a related note, we still have the warning in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c
for CONFIG_SMP=n builds about the variable 'wait' being unused in
kvm_make_all_cpus_request(), because smp_call_function_many() doesn't
reference its 'wait' argument for uniprocessor configs.

This then causes the build to fail on powerpc because kvm_main.c
actually gets compiled under arch/powerpc, and we use -Werror for
arch/powerpc by default.

Paolo posted a sketch of a patch to make smp_call_function_many be a
static inline instead of a macro on UP, but it wasn't quite right and
no-one sent it anywhere.  Paolo, if you're OK with me cleaning it up
and sending it on, I'll do that.

Paul.
