that should be sorted out mostly in -tip/x86, Alexey Starikovskiy went 
through a marathon session decoupling them, about two months ago:

 $ git-shortlog --stat --author=astarikovskiy linus/master..tip/master

 Alexey Starikovskiy (12):
      x86: move es7000_plat out of mpparse.c
      x86: complete move ACPI from mpparse.c
      x86: make mp_ioapic_routing definition local
      x86: make struct config_ioapic not MPspec specific
      x86: make config_irqsrc not MPspec specific
      x86: fix mpparse/acpi interaction
      x86: Set pic_mode only if local apic code is present
      x86: move pic_mode to apic_32.c
      x86: move smp_found_config
      x86: mp_bus_id_to_pci_bus is not needed
      x86: move mp_bus_not_pci from mpparse.c
      x86: allow MPPARSE to be deselected in SMP configs
