Shouldn't we pass the 'num_accelerators' argument down to cml_init() ? 
Otherwise there is no way to mandate how many SPUs to use from SV++. Or 
am I missing something ?

I just noticed this inclusion, which I missed to remove in my previous 
patch. (The '-' at the beginning makes 'make' ignore the failure, so we 
didn't see it.)
Can you please remove this line when you commit the patch ? The alf/ 
subdirectory doesn't exist any more...


The patch looks good otherwise. Thanks,
