| so could use that together with apci=debug to print less cpu apic.
|
| otherwise for system have more cpus will take a while
|
| also move apic_verbosity check to print_all_ICs

Hi Yinghai, good idea!
I've tuned your patch a bit together with changelog.
1) show_lapic=1 by default does change current kernel behaviour
so it should be set to max cpu available.
2) show_lapic contains the max number of lapics being printed
so we need to count them instead of plain comparation with
cpu number, as a result I've changed print_local_APICs. Or
you meant _exactly_ cpuid number? In meaning like
show_lapic=max_cpuid. Hmm?
Someting like this perhaps?
(I keep you SOB since I've touched a few lines only)
How do you think?

[PATCH -tip] x86,apic: introduce show_lapic setup option
In case if a system has a large number of cpus printing apics
contents may consume a long time period. So to control it
we introduce "show_lapic" setup option which allow us to limit
the number of APICs being dumped.
Also move apic_verbosity check up so helpers routine do not
need to check it.
