Currently both of these sysctls make a copy to userspace for each index of

This requires some changes in sysctl's public data structure, thus bump
interface version.

Report topology for all present (not just online) cpus.

Rename xen_sysctl_topologyinfo and XEN_SYSCTL_topologyinfo to reflect the fact
that these are used for CPU topology. Subsequent patch will add support for
PCI topology sysctl.

Clarify some somments in sysctl.h.

Was there a significant change in v3 which invalidated my tools ack from
<1421688368.10440.171.camel%citrix.com@localhost>?

Yes, because I merged changes that you ACKed together with (similar) changes for numa topology. Which will now have to unmerge because various people didn't like it. So I think your ACK will be restored.


Per-patch changelogs (after the ---) are very helpful for this sort of
thing.

I should have at least mentioned this in the cover letter, sorry.
