Make the changes in voyager as well. Note: earlier this week i've rearchitectured the x86 subarchitecture and APIC code - so there's a whole lot more to be done on the Voyager side than just the cpumask conversion. The x86/Voyager subarch is not fully ported yet (i cleaned up its Kconfig impact already) and hence it is disabled for the time being. It ought to be relatively straightforward to port it to the new code - if you are interested in doing that. You can find the latest code in tip/master at: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README it's tentatively aimed for v2.6.30. If you have any questions/suggestions about this code, feel free ...
