Agreed... The topology macros are designed to work for *any*
architecture, so there's no need to selectively include them.

Looking over the code... I think I agree with Christoph here. I think
that most of the new code won't even get touched in the non-NUMA case.
Of course, let me know if I'm wrong! ;)

Actually, the non-double-underbar versions are not in the kernel... I
have a patch for them, though... They just do some simple bound/error
checking as wrappers around the double-underbar versions. As long as
you aren't calling the macros with bizarre values (ie 0<=i<=NR_CPUS),
the double-underbar versions will work just fine, and will be mildly
quicker.

Other than that, it looks good to me!

Cheers!
