Hi, Looking through the ia64 code I came across this little gem. At some point someone added a new argument to hw/pc.c:cmos_init() named 'smp_cpus', and then passed in the global variable 'smp_cpus' as the argument. This propagated through to the ia64 code as well. I checked, this isn't present in the upstream QEMU code, so lets kill it in the KVM branch. One small step to get closer to upstream :-) Cheers, Jes
