- *  In either case, NR_CPUS is fixed at compile time, as the static

  *
  * Subtleties:
  * 1) UP arch's (NR_CPUS == 1, CONFIG_SMP not defined) hardcode
  *    assumption that their single CPU is online.  The UP
- *    cpu_{online,possible,present}_maps are placebos.  Changing them
+ *    cpu_{online,possible,present}_masks are placebos.  Changing them
  *    will have no useful affect on the following num_*_cpus()
  *    and cpu_*() macros in the UP case.  This ugliness is a UP
  *    optimization - don't waste any instructions or memory references
  *    asking if you're online or how many CPUs there are if there is
  *    only one CPU.
- * 2) Most SMP arch's #define some of these maps to be some
- *    other map specific to that arch.  Therefore, the following
- *    must be #define macros, not inlines.  To see why, examine
- *    the assembly code produced by the following.  Note that
- *    set1() writes phys_x_map, but set2() writes x_map:
- *        int x_map, phys_x_map;
- *        #define set1(a) x_map = a
- *        inline void set2(int a) { x_map = a; }
- *        #define x_map phys_x_map
- *        main(){ set1(3); set2(5); }
