This generates a new build warning:

/home/mingo/tip/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c: In function âsyscall_initâ:
/home/mingo/tip/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1443:6: warning: unused variable âcpuâ [-Wunused-variable]
int cpu = smp_processor_id();

because 'cpu' is now unused in the !CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION part.

The naive fix is something like the patch below, untested.

Thanks,

Ingo
