You're missing a patch from Jack Steiner that basically does what you
are trying to do in this patch. Jack's patch can be found at:

	http://lia64.bkbits.net:8080/linux-ia64-test-2.6.12

and is about 14 days old entitled:

	[IA64-SGI] [PATCH 2/2] - New chipset support for SN platform

In this patch he moved the following fields out of the pda and into their
own per-cpu data structure called sn_hub_info_s, the pointer to which is
exported.

-       u16             nasid_bitmask;
-       u8              shub2;
-       u8              nasid_shift;
-       u8              as_shift;
-       u8              shub_1_1_found;

I suggest you get that patch.

I'm also in the process of creating a patch to separate the nodepda from
the pda and export the phys_cpuid array of structures. This will allow
modules to use cpuid_to_nasid(cpuid).
