For the hotplug path we should try to allocate both the per-cpu area and the MCA stack space *before* we try to bring the cpu online (i.e. allocation done by some existing cpu ... not by the cpu itself). For the boot time path it is probably fine to just assume that allocations will work (and panic if they don't). Anyone that tries to bring up 1024 cpus on a 512MB system deserves to see a panic :-) -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
