    [PATCH] make i386 topology caching · ff479131
    Martin J. Bligh authored
    Patch originally by Matt Dobson. Reworked a little by me.
    
    Stores the mappings between cpus and nodes in an array, instead of
    working them out every time. Gives about 4% off systime for kernel
    compile (we use these for every page allocation), and removes one
    of the two only usages of apicid->cpu mapping, which is really awkward
    to keep for systems with large apic spaces, and is genererally pretty
    useless anyway (later patch removes).
