I was rediffing the task_cpu patch, when reached a new hunk in -aa:

kernel/sched.c::sched_init(void):

+   current->cpu = smp_processor_id();

As include/asm-i386/smp.h says, 

#define smp_processor_id() (current->cpu)

So you have a harmless and useless assignment...
unless you really wanted to do any other thing, or
smp_processor_id() != current->cpu in some arch.

???

TIA
