Subject: [PATCH] - Fix stack overflow for large values of MAX_APICS
physid_mask_of_physid() causes a huge stack (12k) to be created if the
number of APICS is large. Replace physid_mask_of_physid() with a
new function that does not create large stacks. This is a problem only
on large x86_64 systems.
Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@....com>

Ingo - the "Increase MAX_APICS patch" can now works. Do you
want me to resend???
