In case when BIOS is populating MADT wiht both x2apic and local apic

I'm confused here, I can't figure out where is the problem, could you
explain it in detail?

For me, logical CPU IDs allocated by OS will have mappings to physical
CPU IDs, what you are saying seems CPU topology problem to me.

Sorry for confusion, I'll send another patch with updated commit message
where I'll try to put some more details and explanation. Hope that one will
be less confusing.

Anyway, You also miss the SMP boot for ARM64 in ACPI way, which will
cause compile error on ARM64.

The only symbol that's changed is acpi_parse_entries and I don't see
any calls to it in ARM64. I also tried compilation of arm64/defconfig
and it compiles fine. Could yoy point me to place where it might failing?

Sorry, I misread your patch that you modified acpi_table_parse_madt()
also, but it turns out that you keep it as before, sorry for the noise.

Thanks
Hanjun
