Sorry, I just realized that what I misunderstood is the output of the migrate
example, not the description of L4::Scheduler::info:

  [...]
  static l4_umword_t         cpu_map, cpu_nrs;
  [...]
  static int check_cpus(void)
  {
    l4_sched_cpu_set_t cs = l4_sched_cpu_set(0, 0);

    if (l4_error(L4Re::Env::env()->scheduler()->info(&cpu_nrs, &cs)) < 0)
      return 1;

    cpu_map = cs.map;

    printf("Found %ld CPUs.\n", cpu_nrs);
  [...]

Maybe changing it to "Supports up to %ld CPUs" would be clearer, or instead (or
in addition) calculating the number of detected/online CPUs.


Thanks,
