2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.
------------------
From: Marko Kohtala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This is not in mainline, as it was fixed differently in that tree.
first_cpu(cpus) returns the only CPU when NR_CPUS is 1 regardless of
the cpus mask. Therefore we avoid a kernel hang in
KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION ioctl on uniprocessor by not entering the loop at
all.
