Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/2] x86, CPU: Run stuff on the BSP
Date: Mon,  8 Aug 2011 20:57:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312829872-20260-1-git-send-email-bp@amd64.org> (raw)

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

Ok,

this is just an RFC and it builds but no further tests have been done on
it. The first patch is a trivial cleanup and can go in.

For the second one I opted to look at c->x86_vendor in cpu/common.c
which is not very clean but still simpler than adding a miscellaneous
struct to contain the ->run_on_bsp() pointer and be statically allocated
as __initdata, in the cpu_dev fashion. We can always do that later if
there's more ofthe similar functionality needed.

Hmm, so please take a look and let me know if this is going in the right
direction.

Thanks.
