another problem is the redefinition of apic_read(), causing:

 arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c: In function ‘xen_patch':
 arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:1084: warning: label ‘patch_site' defined but not used
 arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c: At top level:
 arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:1272: error: expected identifier before ‘(' token
 arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:1273: error: expected ‘}' before ‘.' token

with this config:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Fri_Jul_11_21_51_18_CEST_2008.bad

the continued spaghetti in all the APIC variants is quite ugly. This 
should all be handled via a single apic_ops template that should cover 
the paravirt and native variants as well.
