The BAU confers no benefit to a UV system running with only one hub/socket. Permanently disable the BAU driver if there are less than two hubs online to avoid BAU overhead. We have observed failed boots on single-socket UV4 systems caused by BAU that are avoided with this patch. Also, while at it, consolidate initialization error blocks and fix a memory leak.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
