From bdaff4a331db46f3bd953f413316c4603c4004b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ashok Raj Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 02:59:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86 topology: don;t create a control file for BSP that cannot be removed Don't create "online" control file for BSP (i386/x86_64) since its not removable. We originally added this to support ppc64 if the kernel has support but BIOS indicated no offline support, we just didnt create online files for them. We used the same method in ia64 as well, if we have a cpu taking platform interrupts but cannot be removed if those interrupts cannot be re-targeted to another cpu.
