In these cases, please break the patch into two, the first looking at
this new /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/active file, then you go and do the
fix, and if its more than one, please break those fixes also in separate
patches.

Also you forgot to add all the people that worked on the fixed csets in
the CC list, so that they could review your work and give their Acked-by
or Reviewed-by, I'm adding the missing one, Andi Kleen, to this
response,

Thanks,
