Re: [PATCH] ppc64 SMT bugfix

[Anton Blanchard]

Hi Joel,

Yep, looks good to me. Longer term we should allow an aribtrary number
of siblings but we can fix that when the cpu_to_sibling stuff goes in.

This patch is fairly straightforward.  maxcpus should be per SMT thread 
and not per physical processor.
