Hi,

two more points.

For DOM0_PHYSINFO, sockets_per_node is wrong:
      pi->sockets_per_node = 
            num_online_cpus() / cpus_weight(cpu_core_map[0]);
[On ia64, I return the max of sockets per node].

The node_to_cpu field of struct dom0_physinfo is:
    XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(u64) node_to_cpu;
This means the max cpus is 64.
I know cpumap_t is also 64 bits.
I think you'd better to use cpumap_t.

Here we have NUMA machines with 128 cpus.  The question is how to upgrade Xen 
to handle more than 64 cpus.  We can either incease cpumap_t size to 256 
(until we reach a new limit) or use an unlimited cpu structure.

Tristan.
