>Description:
	Config file has MULTIPROCESSOR defined.  Build system is sparc.
	Kernel build chokes:

cc  -O2 -Werror -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes  -Wpointer-arith -Wno-uninitialized -Wno-main -I. -I../../../../arch -I../../../.. -nostdinc -I../../../../../gnu/sys -DSUN4M -DRASTERCONSOLE -DDIAGNOSTIC -DMIIVERBOSE -DMAXUSERS=32 -D_KERNEL  -c ../../../../kern/kern_clock.c
../../../../kern/kern_clock.c: In function `hardclock':
../../../../kern/kern_clock.c:514: structure has no member named `ci_master'
*** Error code 1

	kern_clock.c is: 1.60 2000/06/03 20:42:42, and line 514 is the first
	code line in:

#if defined(MULTIPROCESSOR)
	/*
	 * If we are not the primary CPU, we're not allowed to do
	 * any more work.
	 */
	if (CPU_IS_PRIMARY(curcpu()) == 0)
		return;
#endif

	The commit message for 1.60 suggests that the problem was introduced
	with changes associated with that revision:

Move schedticks and cp_time into schedstate_percpu.  Also, allow
non-primary CPUs to call hardclock(), but make them bail about
before updating global timekeeping state (that's the job of the
primary CPU).

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to build a MULTIPROCESSOR kernel with current sources.

>Fix:
	This appears to be caused by a spelling error.  There is a structure
	called cpuinfo used in sparc/include/cpu.h (to define curcpu()) that
	is apparently supposed to be defined in sparc/sparc/cpuvar.h, but the
	structure there is called cpu_info (note different spelling).  Choose
	whichever is correct/preferred, and change the other.  Note that in
	the cpu.h file for alpha, cpu_info is used.
