2005-04-05 Thread Nick Piggin
This is Suresh's patch with some modifications. -- SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. Remove degenerate scheduler domains during the sched-domain init. For example on x86_64, we always have NUMA configured in. On Intel EM64T systems, top most sched domain will be of NUMA and with only one sched_group in it.
