I send :
[PATCH -tip 1/2] x86: rename intel_mp_floating to mpf_intel
[PATCH -tip 2/2] x86: rename all fields of mpf_intel mpf_X to X

Is this OK ?

struct mpc_ioapic and struct mpc_intsrc is based on MultiProcessor
Specification Version 1.4

But I am not able to find the specification Manual of:

struct mp_config_ioapic and struct mp_config_intsrc.
(arch/x86/include/asm/io_apic.h)

Can you please point me out why the fields of struct mp_config_ioapic
and struct mp_config_intsrc are different from MultiProcessor
Specification Version 1.4

Thanks
