It's actually fairly easy to do this. I did some of the code separation work months ago but didn't go all the way to allowing the ICU vs APIC selection to occur dynamically.
You can use the LAPIC and IOAPIC(s) on UP hardware as well.
At the moment only one or the other can be included. It would not take a whole lot of work to allow both to be included, then figure outwhich one to use at run time during early boot. To do this, the MachIntrABI structure needs to be declared generically and then loaded with either the icu or the apic ABI. Right now the structure is declared in the icu and the apic code (so only one can be included).
So this won't be necessary :). Cheers, -- Thomas E. Spanjaard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
