Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][cpufreq] add bounds checking for getcpuidletime
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.6.070618
This is supposed to be handled by xenctl_cpumap_to_cpumask, but it looks
like it's buggy. I checked in a fix as changeset 16519. Can you please try
with that and see if it fixes your problem?
