From 90660ec3c3e3f463a3cc7005213345b6c9ecfab9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Davis Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 15:24:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64 genapic update x86_64 genapic mechanism should be aware of machines that use physical APIC mode regardless of how many clusters/processors are detected. ACPI 3.0 FADT makes this determination very simple by providing a feature flag "force_apic_physical_destination_mode" to state whether the machine unconditionally uses physical APIC mode. Unisys' next generation x86_64 ES7000 will need to utilize this FADT feature flag in order to boot the x86_64 kernel in the correct APIC mode. This patch has been tested on both x86_64 commodity and ES7000 boxes.
