is there a request to fix something here? My preferred "fix" would be to delegte the "nosmp" boot option and to make "maxcpus=0" be a synomym for "maxcpus=1". nosmp was originally implemented to disable MPS, which supplied both SMP, and IOAPIC support. MPS is largely gone these days, replaced by ACPI about 15 years ago. It seems that when people use "nosmp" today, they expect it to work like "maxcpus=1", but are surprised that it effectively adds "noapic". thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
