Subject: [PATCH] Revert "x86/apic/x2apic: Implement IPI shorthands support"
This reverts commit 43931d350f30c6cd8c2f498d54ef7d65750abc92.
On kvm guest with 4 cpus deployed, when adding 'nr_cpus=2' to normal
kernel's cmdline, and triggering crash to jump to kdump kernel, kdump
kernel will stably hang. Reverting commit 43931d350f30 ("x86/apic/x2apic:
Implement IPI shorthands support") can fix it.
The problem will disappear if removing 'nr_cpus=2' from normal kerne's
cmdline.
Tried on several bare metal systems, this issue can't be stably
reproduced. On several systems, kdump kernel can always succeed. On some
systems, kdump kernel randomly failed, not sure if it's the same issue
as the one on kvm guest. On some systems, there's another random hang
with tick_periodic() call trace, I will report it in another mail.

This is reproduced stably on kvm guest with Fedora. Attached the kernel
config for reference just in case.
