Hi He,
Thanks for your response firstly.

Yes, I would like to pay more attention on fixing kdump's failure with
notsc.
No plan to clean up the irq mode setting codes in the crash kernel
reboot path.
If you are interested in it, please go on.

Thanks for your reminders.
As the comment of init_bsp_APIC(), it's just used to setup the virtual
wire mode.
so I won't change its name.
But i agree with that PIC mode should be considered.
Next version will be like below,

IMO，
the through-IO-APIC mode has no relationship with the setting of local
APIC.
that's why i only check the pin of IO-APIC in virtual_wire_via_ioapic().
Thanks
