Does it also specify how to find out what granularity is used by the

PCI transparent bridge
This report is FYI, filed because of the kernel message. Using the kernel
parameter seems to work fine.
On boot there is a message that says this:
Kernel:PCI: Transparent bridge - :00:1e.0
Kernel:PCI: Bus #04 (-#07) is hidden behind transparent bridge #03 (-#04)

Ingo,
I've spent several days banging my head on this bug, and I finally found
it. I originally thought we had a bug with the latency tracer, since it
seemed to only occur when I turned on latency tracing. But I guess it
just changed the timings to cause the bug to happen. Now that I found
where
You are right,both ways would cause confusion,but sooner or later we need to
move it because our NICs onward are all Gigabit and 100M NICs will disappear
gradually in the future. Probably H.Peter's suggestion that have a single list
for 100M and 1000M is a better choice.

We were discussing a two node NUMA system. If you have more put it onto

Is this wanted? Or needed? I would think there are good reasons why
this hasn't been done so far. Intrusion detection is one reason I can
think of.

Background:
We've found that MCEs (specifically DRAM SBEs) tend to come in bunches,
especially when we are trying really hard to stress the system out. The
current MCE poller uses a static interval which does not care whether it
has or has not found MCEs
Oops, little bug, I hooked-up the wrong syscall for the IA32 compat
code. Fixed in this revision.
