While investigating a temperature problem, I seen that the default_halt
entry called for an idle processor do not really halt the processor. I
found the reason on the CVS logs and it is intended to react to changes
made on the run queue by the other processor. (i386/i386/swtch.s, 1.61).
Since this is dated Sept 97, can we expect a better solution regarding
the progress made in the SMP area ?
Thanks to all.
