Interestingly, assert(s->num_cpu <= EXYNOS$210_NCPUS) is *not*
sufficient, but assert(i <= EXYNOS4210_NCPUS) within the loop *is*
enough. I've updated my patch accordingly.
This isn't 4.2 material, obviously. Should I just sit on it until 5.0
opens, or does one of you have someplace to stage the patch in the
meanwhile?
