Haren,

Yes. My first version of the patch did exactly this. Later, while
discussing with you we decided that checking for "-1" for CPU ID
is the right thing to identify the presence of the CPU.

Yep. you are right on kdump boot, you do set cpuid to -1 when 
they are stopped. 

So, I guess I am okay with your fix.

Thanks,
Badari

Ok, then I guess I'll take that as a thumbs-up.

Waiting on Rachita's go-ahead...

Thanks,
