Will do (assuming it doesn't ripple thru too much code eliminating

Yes.



Deleted comment.


Added to list of loose-ends that need addressing.



No, not sure why I did that. Deleted the irq disable...



Deleted the memset. Should not be depending on poison values. Was useful
in debugging but it has outlived it's usefulness.



Not sure that I understand why. The overhead of UV is minimal & we want UV
enabled in all distro kernels. OTOH, small embedded systems probably want to
eliminate every last bit of unneeded code.

Might make sense to have a config option. Thoughts????



By factored, do you means something like:
	is_uv_legacy_system()
	is_us_non_unique_apicid_system()
	...

Or maybe:
	is_uv_system_type(x)   # where x is UV_NON_UNIQUE_APIC, etc



Thanks for the careful review.
