However there are 2 significant checks we can perform.
- Did the original version compile?
- Does this work on the tyan/s2850
does the s2850 use an athlon64? Iirc the problem was that the athlon64 has less ht links..
I am pretty certain that case was limited to the code that was living in misc_control.c. For which this problem has been resolved.
So unless YhLu has problems on the s2850 or we can dig something up in the mailing list archives I am fairly certain that this change is ok.
The best way to test this is testing on a solo system.. If somebody has one... Which I dont. Otherwise I suggest we mark the solo build broken until someone can verify this..
Actually looking at this the code is exactly what we have in misc_control.c Which has been tested on an Athlon64 so I'm not concerned.
