 The 82489DX discrete APIC was originally designed for 80486 SMP systems 
and Intel's Multiprocessor Specification explicitly provided for such 
configurations.  Unfortunately I was never able to track down such a 
system to experiment with it and possibly make it work with Linux.  Good 
luck with finding one these days!
