Aren't we then needing two arch_register_cpu() implementations? I'm assuming that you're suggesting that the !acpi_disabled, then do nothing check is moved into arch_register_cpu() - or to put it another way, arch_register_cpu() does nothing if ACPI is enabled. If arch_register_cpu() does nothing if ACPI is enabled, how do CPUs get registered (and sysfs files get created to control them) on ACPI systems? ACPI wouldn't be able to call arch_register_cpu(), so I suspect you'll need an ACPI-specific version of this function. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up.
