So ... is the commit log message i've put into the commit below correct, 
or is it still only a cleanup patch? You really need to put that kind of 
info into your changelogs - it helps maintainers put it into the right 
kernel release.

Subject: [PATCH] x86, UV: Fix and clean up bau code to use uv_gpa_to_pnode()

Create an inline function to extract the pnode from a global
physical address and then convert the broadcast assist unit to
use the newly created uv_gpa_to_pnode function.

The open-coded code was wrong as well - it might explain a
few of our unexplained bau hangs.
