[PATCH v2] x86/platform/uv/BAU: disable BAU on single hub configurations

From: Andrew Banman
Date: Thu Jul 20 2017 - 18:07:28 EST


The BAU confers no benefit to a UV system running with only one hub/socket.
Permanently disable the BAU driver if there are less than two hubs online
to avoid BAU overhead. We have observed failed boots on single-socket UV4
systems caused by BAU that are avoided with this patch.

Version 2: Consolidate initialization error blocks with goto err_bau_disable
and free the per_cpu cpumasks to fix a memory leak.
