Hi, I've just smacked the last obvious places where the CPU ID type was smaller than an int (signed) and NOCPU is now -1. We don't have any obvious hardware support for anything with > 254 logical CPUs just at the moment but I'm sure that during the lifecycle of 11 we're going to start seeing devices with > 254 logical CPUs. I'd like to try and find / squish any remaining code in /usr/src that uses a different type for CPU identification. I'd really appreciate any help I can get in updating things sooner rather than later. If there are any other ABI related changes I'd like to get them into -HEAD far before the release point so things can shake out. So, this is a call for help. I'm doing this (mostly) in my spare time with donated hardware, so I'm thankful for any other help people can provide before 11-REL is cut. Thanks! -adrian
