Subject: [PATCH] x86: skip delays during SMP initialization similar to Xen
Remove the per-CPU delays during SMP initialization, which seems to be
possible on newer architectures with an x2APIC.
Xen does this since 2011. In fact, this commit is basically a
combination of the following Xen commits. The first removes the delays,
the second fixes an issue with the removal:
commit 68fce206f6dba9981e8322269db49692c95ce250
Author: Tim Deegan <Tim.Deegan@...rix.com>
Date: Tue Jul 19 14:13:01 2011 +0100
x86: Remove timeouts from INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence when using x2apic.
Some of the timeouts are pointless since they're waiting for the ICR
to ack the IPI delivery and that doesn't happen on x2apic.
The others should be benign (and are suggested in the SDM) but
removing them makes AP bringup much more reliable on some test boxes.

commit f12ee533150761df5a7099c83f2a5fa6c07d1187
Author: Gang Wei <gang.wei@...el.com>

X86: Add a delay between INIT & SIPIs for tboot AP bring-up in X2APIC case
Without this delay, Xen could not bring APs up while working with
TXT/tboot, because tboot needs some time in APs to handle INIT before
becoming ready for receiving SIPIs (this delay was removed as part of
c/s 23724 by Tim Deegan).
