Hi all,

I was going through the following function __cpuinit
detect_extended_topology where there is a talk about detecting the cpu
topology.
I have read documentation intel IA32 sys programming guide about CPUID
instruction. But i am having some doubts regarding what exactly is a
"enumeration leaf".Does leaf mean a supported function for CPUID or is it
something else. I am not able to correctly understand why we use a "leaf"
terminology.
This maybe a trivial question but my google searches have done me no good.

thanks,
Punit.
