Hi, I still wonder what you and other people think about the idea of an interface where the parts of the kernel with per-cpu dependencies should register two functions... Why not compile kernel with structeres big enough for 32 processors, and then just add CPUs up to the limit without

Hi, That's a good point and it would probably work for attachment of cpus, but it won't work for detachment because there are some data structures that need to be updated if a cpu gets detached. For example it would be nice [...] So at least for detaching it would make sense to register
