Cover letter [PATCH 0/1] x86: Reduce Memory Usage for large CPU count systems v2
v2: rebasing on 2.6.23-rc6-mm1
Analyzing various data structures when NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 shows the following arrays over 128k. If the maximum number of cpus are not installed (about 99.99% of the time), then a large percentage of this memory is wasted. --

cpu_sibling_map and cpu_core_map have been taken care of in a prior patch. This patch deals with the cpu_data array of cpuinfo_x86 structs. The model that was used in sparc64 architecture was adopted for x86.
Obviously, the IRQ arrays are of greater importance for size reduction. Any suggestions, or threads I should read are gratefully accecpted... ;-)
