Hi Rafael,
Thanks for previous review for v1. Later on I thought acpi_lapic is
more suitable for checking whether LAPIC in MADT is available, and it can
hanlde both the UP system running SMP kernel with no LAPIC in MADT and kdump
kernel after multiple CPUs system crashed on non-1st CPU.
I tested the 1st case by addding "disableapic nr_cpus=1" into cmdline
of SMP kenrel, and it works. For 2nd case, it works too, below warning
message is not printed any more.
acpi LNXCPU:0a: BIOS reported wrong ACPI id 0 for the processor
Do you like this idea?
Thanks
Baoquan
