Hi Jesse, Andrew's latest tree should have a number of improvements and changes to the sched domains code which you will need to synch up to. One issue you may have is that Ingo removed the ability to have arch code override the domain structure due to it being too hazardous for architectures to use in this form (which I don't entirely disagree with). Now I guess your patch could go into the generic code because it is pretty general - however are you guys going to want to do anything more fancy with these things? Nick
