Yinghai, Agreed. How about the appended patch? I tested and it works.
Peter wants a small quick fix for this issue (to resolve the boot issue
reported in the virtualization guest context) so that we can queue it
for .33 and .32 kernels (as some distributions will be based on these
kernels).
Can you please Ack if it is ok?
thanks,
suresh

Subject: x86, apic: Don't use logical-flat mode when CPU hotplug may exceed 8 CPUs
We need to fall back from logical-flat APIC mode to physical-flat mode
when we have more than 8 CPUs. However, in the presence of CPU
hotplug(with bios listing not enabled but possible cpus as disabled cpus in
MADT), we have to consider the number of possible CPUs rather than
the number of current CPUs; otherwise we may cross the 8-CPU boundary
when CPUs are added later.
32bit apic code can use more cleanups (like the removal of vendor checks in
32bit default_setup_apic_routing()) and more unifications with 64bit code.
Yinghai has some patches in works already. This patch addresses the boot issue
that is reported in the virtualization guest context.
