The patch titled i386: apic= command line option should always be has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is i386-apic=-command-line-option-should-always-be.patch This patch was probably dropped from -mm because it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into its parent patch in the -mm tree. ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: i386: apic= command line option should always be From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx> When using apic= on the kernel command line, this had no effect for machines matched by either the ACPI MADT or the MPS OEM table scan. However, when such option is specified, it should also take effect for this set of systems.
