[PATCH] ia64: 2.5.44 NUMA fixups
Dear David, please find attached two patches for the latest 2.5.44-ia64. They fix some problems and simplify things a bit. remove_nodeid-2.5.44.patch: This comes from Kimi. In 2.5.44 we suddenly had two definitions for numa_node_id(), one was IA64 specific (local_cpu_data->nodeid) while the other one is now platform independent: __cpu_to_node(smp_processor_id()). After some discussions we decided to remove the nodeid from the local_cpu_data and keep the definition of all other platforms. With using the cpu_to_node_map[] we are also faster when doing multiple lookups, as all node ids come in a single cache line (which is not bounced around, as it's content is only read). ia64_topology_fixup-2.5.44.patch: I'm following here the latest fixup for i386 from Matthew Dobson. The __node_to_cpu_mask() macro now accesses an array which is initialized after the ACPI CPU discovery. It also simplifies __node_to_first_cpu(). A compiler warning has been fixed, too. Please apply these to your kernel tree.
