apic.h has defines like:
#define lapic__id lapic->id
Once private pages and "known virtual addr" mapping of the APICs is
ready all 'lapic__XXX' will be changed to 'lapic.XXX', and the defines
will be removed.
Changes to smp.h for lapic_t lapic && ioapic_t ioapic pointers,
currently equal to apic_base && io_apic_base, will stand alone with the
private page mapping.
Peter Wemm <peter@spinner.DIALix.COM>, Steve Passe <smp@csn.net>
removed all the IPI_INTS code.
made the XFAST_IPI32 code default, renaming Xfastipi32 to Xinvltlb.
There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!
