x86, x2apic: Allow "nox2apic" to disable x2apic mode setup by BIOS
Currently "nox2apic" boot parameter was not enabling x2apic mode if the cpu, kernel are all capable of enabling x2apic mode and the OS handover happened in xapic mode. However If the bios enabled x2apic prior to OS handover, using "nox2apic" boot parameter had no effect. If the boot cpu's apicid is < 255, enable "nox2apic" boot parameter to disable the x2apic mode setup by the bios. This will enable the kernel to fallback to xapic mode and bringup only the cpu's which has apic-id < 255. -v2: fix patch error and two compiling warning make disable_x2apic to be __init Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAE9FiQUeB-3uxJAMiHsz=uPWoFv5Hg1pVepz7aU6YtqOxMC-=Q@mail.gmail.com Signed-off-by: H.
