I know of one SoC which has three cores on it, where two are optimized for performance and one for low power. They're all connected to the SCU, and so are visible as three symetric CPUs. Such a SoC may wish to do things differently from the current approach (which is basically bring up all cores at boot) particularly as the performance gained from each CPU is far from identical. So I've been nervous about moving the CPU map initialization into core code. Note that the low power CPU may not be the last in the set, so merely limiting the system to two CPUs is not the answer. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
