From fad12ac8c8c2591c7f4e61d19b6a9d76cd49fafa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Renninger Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:09:14 +0100 Subject: CPU: Introduce ARCH_HAS_CPU_AUTOPROBE and X86 parts This patch is based on Andi Kleen's work: Implement autoprobing/loading of modules serving CPU specific features (x86cpu autoloading). And Kay Siever's work to get rid of sysdev cpu structures and making use of struct device instead. Before, the cpuid driver had to be loaded to get the x86cpu autoloading feature. With this patch autoloading works through the /sys/devices/system/cpu object Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Dave Jones Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Herbert Xu Cc: Huang Ying Cc: Len Brown Acked-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Acked-by: H.
