Yes, you are quite right. Both early_get_smp_config and get_smp_config
call default_get_smp_config() if CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE is defined. The
smp_found_config check should be done inside default_get_smp_config to
simplify code.

Yes, just as you said, if !CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE default_get_smp_config()
will be defined as x86_init_noop in arch/x86/include/asm/mpspec.h. So
the #ifdef checking can be removed.

I will repost with the change you suggested. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks
