I look at it like NUMA. We have lots of details available about how things are connected. But, "most users" are totally unaware of this. We give them decent default policies and the ones that need more can do so with the NUMA APIs. These patches provide the framework to help users/apps who *do* care and want to make intelligent, topology-aware decisions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
