No this is not correct. ACPI processor.ko driver which supports physical CPU hotplug needs register_cpu() and unregister_cpu() functions for dynamically hotadd/hotremove support of the processors. Please see drivers/acpi/processor_core.c acpi_processor_hotadd_init() -> arch_register_cpu() -> ->register_cpu(). -Anil - 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/
