machdep.hlt_cpus not safe with ULE?

2011-02-19 Thread Steven Hartland
I'm trying to debug a possibly failing CPU, so I thought it would be easy just disable the cores using machdep.hlt_cpus and see if we see the panic's we've been seeing. The problem is it seems ULE doesnt properly support machdep.hlt_cpus and still schedules processes onto the halted cpus which

This may be totally unrelated to bge, investigating a potential failing stick of ram in the machine in question so until we've ruled this out as the cause don't want to waste anyone's time. I did however notice the logic between the two fixes for DMA on 5704's on PCIX in svn differ so wondering
