of the `machdep.acpi_root' sysctl. This is required on ia64
because the root pointer hardly ever, if at all, lives in the
first MB of memory and also because scanning the first MB of
memory can cause machine checks.
This provides a save and reliable way for ACPI tools to work
with the tables if ACPI support is present in the kernel. On
ia64 ACPI is non-optional.
do it as a side-effect of probing for MP hardware. This allows
us to scan for local SAPICs early (especially before MBUF
initialization).
o Fix the Local SAPIC structure so that matches the Local SAPIC
table entry. Now that the Local SAPIC info is the same as the
Local APIC info, stop dumping the Local APIC entries.
o For every Local SAPIC entry in the MADT that's not disabled,
let the SMP code know about it. They represent actual CPUs.
o Register the OS_BOOT_RENDEZ entry point and provide a (bogus)
implementation for the entry point.
o Provide a mapping for internal IPI numbers to ExtINT vectors.
o In a MP system, announce the CPUs and start them by sending
IPI_AP_WAKEUP to each of them. Not that it makes a difference
at this time :-)
o Miscellaneous style fixes and other adjustments.
