Hi Ingo, Steven, Thomas, et. al. The first patch is a refresh on the hotplug patch I sent last night: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/3/490 I incorporated most of Peter's review comments. I skipped the update_sched_domains() suggestion for now since I think there might be some unrelated issues with that code that I didn't want to get into (yet, anyway). The second patch is something that Peter found while reviewing cpupri as part of this investigation. This series applies to 25.4-rt4, and as before it affects any cpupri enabled kernels (later 23-rt, 24-rt, 25-rt, sched-devel, linux-next, and any derivatives of such). If you need a version of the patches for any of those, let me know (though I anticipate they will merge trivially). Comments/bug-fixes welcome!
