This has been built for ppc64, i386, ia64, x86_64, sparc, alpha. It has been built, booted and tested for cpuset functionality on an SN2 (ia64). Dinakar or Nick - could you verify that it for sure does avoid the problems Hawkes reported. Hawkes is out of town, and I don't have the recipe to reproduce what he found.
