With the caveat that I currently have not digested your patch series, this sounds like a reasonable approach. The root-domain effectively represents the top sched-domain anyway (with the additional attribute that its a shared structure with all constituent cpus). Ill try to take a look at the series later today and get back to you with feedback. -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
