Subject: [patch 07/30] x86/acpi: Dont invoke topology_register_apic() for XEN
 PV

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

The MADT table for XEN/PV dom0 is not really useful and registering the
APICs is momentarily a pointless exercise because XENPV does not use an
APIC at all.

It overrides the x86_init.mpparse.parse_smp_config() callback, resets
num_processors and counts how many of them are provided by the hypervisor.

This is in the way of cleaning up the APIC registration. Prevent MADT
registration for XEN/PV temporarily until the rework is completed and
XEN/PV can use the MADT again.
