SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH 0/2] VMBus channel interrupts re-balancing
> These changes originated from (and address /try to resolve) two known
> limitations of the current interrupts-to-CPUs mapping scheme, that is,
> (1) the "static" nature of this mapping scheme (that, e.g., can end up
> preventing the hot removal of certain CPUs) and (2) the lack of global

One thing I didn't mention here is that, well, we probably don't want
any of this when CONFIG_SMP=n: clearly, I didn't pay much attention
to (optimize) this config in this RFC (FWIW, neither seems to do the
current mapping scheme) but I'll look into this if there is interest
on this regard (once back from vacation of course ;-) and, probably,
at the cost of adding some #ifdeffery to this RFC).

Thanks,
Andrea
