I have the following mails related to this in my direct inbox archive, i.e. where I was CC'ed and exactly the same amount in my full LKML archive: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170614150410.GA15806@xxxxxxxxx http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170802160420.GA18507@xxxxxxxxx http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170802164621.43ckgv2vieudvifc@angmar http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170802174725.GB2333@xxxxxxxxx http://lkml.kernel.org/r/59824864020000EE001C9890@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170828152906.GA2810@xxxxxxxxx http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170828153642.GA29792@xxxxxxxxx http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170906134531.GB11779@xxxxxxxxx All of these mails were completely out of context, i.e. the stuff was never posted to LKML at all. I got them because you added x86@xxxxxxxxxx when replying. And all what I could see from your replies was: > arch/Kconfig | 3 ++ > drivers/base/Makefile | 1 + > drivers/base/cpuinfo.c | 48 ++++++++++++++++++++++ > include/linux/cpuhotplug.h | 1 + > include/linux/cpuinfo.h | 43 +++++++++++++++++++ which I blissfully ignored.
