However, the extended > cpu addressability will not be fully utilized that way. No. CPU can't be in x2apic mode with out enabling interrupt-remapping. Interrupts may not work (even when we have few cpu's). For example, in logical cluster mode, logical x2apic id (initialized by HW) will be > 16 bit, in a smaller DP configuration. In general, enabling x2apic with out enabling interrupt-remapping is not recommended, as the platform will be using legacy interrupt format and the CPU will be using extended ID mode. thanks, suresh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
