As a first step towards supporting multi-cluster systems, detect cores &
VPs in secondary clusters & record their cluster information in the
cpu_data array. The "VP topology" line printed during boot is extended
to display multiple clusters. On a single cluster it shows output like
the following:
VP topology: {4,4}
This would indicate a system with 2 cores which each contain 4 VPs. We
extend this to cover multiple clusters in a natural way:
VP topology: {4,4},{2,2}
This would indicate a system with 2 clusters. The first cluster contains
2 cores which each contain 4 VPs. The second cluster contains 2 cores
which each contain 2 VPs.
Actually booting these cores & VPs is left to further patches once other
pieces are in place.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
