2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Marko Kohtala This is not in mainline, as it was fixed differently in that tree. first_cpu(cpus) returns the only CPU when NR_CPUS is 1 regardless of the cpus mask. Therefore we avoid a kernel hang in KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION ioctl on uniprocessor by not entering the loop at all.
