[Cbe-oss-dev] [patch 01/18] cell: add per BE structure with info about its SPUs

[Jeremy Kerr]

Andre,

> * number of reserved (non scheduleable) spus.

Do we actually need this information?

As far as I can tell, the only thing we use the reserved_spus variable 
for is in spufs_assert_affinity(), and I'm not convinced that the check 
there is really necessary (however, it's not doing any harm...). The 
NOSCHED contexts may be as short-lived as the normal ones, and the SPEs 
may be be available for use when needed.

I'm not vetoing this, just asking for more info :)

Cheers,


Jeremy
