I've checked Makefile's and Kconfig for situation when SMP turned on and apic.c is not compiled (from hw POV on x86 it should not be possible since SMP requires APIC chip but dunno -- just something from inside of me says there could be a hidden problem). I was also thinking about some common bitfiels for apic features -- like one bit to figure out if it was disabled via boot line, one bit for x2apic mode enabled and so on. We have the cpu_has_... helpers maybe the same for apic could be implemented? How do you think? -- Cyrill -- 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/
