First, sorry about the duplicates. The mail provider I was using at the
time rewrote the Message-ID and delivered the same patch several times, so
it hit the list as a handful of separate threads. That was not me resending
it. I have moved off that provider and everything since August 1 goes out
with a stable Message-ID from git send-email.

The valgrind run was in the notes under the scissors, not just a build: a
two-CPU mock where CPU1's topology reads fail, uninitialized reads in
__compare_core_cpu_list() before the patch and none after. If there is
testing you would want beyond that, tell me what would satisfy you and I
will do it. Otherwise I am fine dropping this.
