Hi! In Linus' tree as of today UML is broken. It's crashing because get_cpu_device() in topology_add_dev() returns a device with an invalid kobj (address is 0x10).
The code seems to assume that each arch has to register their CPUs
using register_cpu().
Is this a regression or was UML always faulty because it did not register it's
CPU?
The below patch fixes the issue for UML.
Thanks,
//richard
