From 255acee706b333b79f593dd366f16e1f107cccc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 13:52:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] s390: additional_cpus parameter Introduce additional_cpus command line option. By default no additional cpu can be attached to the system anymore. Only the cpus present at IPL time can be switched on/off. If it is desired that additional cpus can be attached to the system the maximum number of additional cpus needs to be specified with this option. This change is necessary in order to limit the waste of per_cpu data structures.
