SubjectRe: multiprocessor kernel problem
Date
In message <m2elzp3uiq.fsf@euler.axel.nom> you write:

Yes, hacked my machine to think it had 4 cpus, and boom.

There are two problems:
(1) initialization of multiple tables was wrong, and
(2) iterating through tables should not use cpu_number_map (doesn't
matter on X86 though).

Please try attached patch.

Thanks,
Rusty,
