Works mostly fine, except with the attached 32-bit UP !APIC 
config I get various build failures (resolved via the patch 
below) and a link failure (not resolved):

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
arch/x86/built-in.o:vdso32-setup.c:function detect_extended_topology: error: undefined reference to 'apic'
arch/x86/built-in.o:vdso32-setup.c:function detect_extended_topology: error: undefined reference to 'apic'

arch/x86/built-in.o:vdso32-setup.c:function detect_ht: error: undefined reference to 'apic'
arch/x86/built-in.o:vdso32-setup.c:function x86_msi: error: undefined reference to 'native_setup_msi_irqs'
arch/x86/built-in.o:vdso32-setup.c:function x86_msi: error: undefined reference to 'native_teardown_msi_irq'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

Thanks,
