similar to: [PATCH] x86/apic: remove DMI checks in bigsmp driver for obsolete systems

Also, rename to MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR to be in line with the other IPI names. This requires bumping LAST_HIPRIORITY_VECTOR, but does mean that the range FIRST-LAST_HIPRIORITY_VECTORs are free once again.

x86:x2apic: Disable x2apic on x86-32 permanently x2apic initialization on x86_32 uses vcpu pointer before it is initialized. As x2apic is unlikely to be used on x86_32, this patch disables x2apic permanently on x86_32. It also asserts the sanity of vcpu pointer before dereference to prevent further misuse.

We''re building for one case (CONFIG_ACPI_PCI defined) only, yet still had the other case''s code in there. Additionally there was quite a bit of pseudo-duplication between disabled(!) DMI scan and ACPI boot code. acpi_pci_disabled had only a single reader, which is off by default (i.e. must be enable on the command line), so it seems pointless to keep it. Signed-off-by: Jan

The iommu is enabled by default when xen is booting and later disabled in iommu_setup() when no iommu is present. But under some circumstances iommu code can be called before iommu_setup() is processed. If there is no iommu available xen crashes. This can happen for example when panic(...) is called as introduced with the patch "x86-64: detect processors subject to AMD erratum #121 and

Further cleanup of the hv drivers. 1) Implement code for autoloading the vmbus drivers without using PCI or DMI signatures. I have implemented this based on Greg's feedback on my earlier implementation. 2) Cleanup error handling across the board and use standard Linux error codes. 3) General cleanup Regards, K. Y

I''d like to send this patch to upstream lkml/linux-acpi, but I want to make sure that the x86 side wants this too. The _OSI method is a way for platform ACPI firmware to determine the features and capabilities of the OS running on the system. This is usually done by calling the _OSI method with various strings in the _INI method of an ACPI device. The strings are things like
