Xen devel - May 2008 - [PATCH] fixing wrong cpu_to_node information

Hi,

when booting unstable with numa=on, Xen reports the node_to_cpu relation 
improperly (test with xm info).
The physinfo sysctl has input parameters (described in public/sysctl.h), 
which obviously should not be clobbered with memset before being used in 
sysctl.c (introduced in c/s 17336). Attached patch fixed this by saving 
the input values before cleaning the structure. This does not only 
effect the more or less cosmetic xm info output, but also for instance 
the automatic NUMA placement code which stops with an error.
IA64 branch not tested (cross compiler project is stalled for the moment 
;-(.
