I'd like to begin resubmitting the patches that were in the cpus4096-v2
branch but I'm not quite sure how to set up the git tree. I have:

git-remote add linus git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
git-remote add tip git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git
git-remote update
git-checkout -b cpus4096 tip/cpus4096

But I don't see the linux-next changes (like cpumask_first for uniprocessor), so I'm
guessing I need to either merge in linux-next, or insert it into the above setup
commands?

Fyi, hopefully this patch submission conduit will work:

generic only: via linux-next
arch-specific (x86 + others): Rusty via arch-maintainers (linux-next?)
(x86 only): Mike via tip/cpus4096

Does this work for you?

Thanks,
Mike
