Hi, All

I am reading Linux Kernel's IOAPIC Init routine recently and I found that Linux 
2.6.17 Kernel's APIC_init_uniprocessor() routine doesn't use ACPI table's MADT 
but instead will try to locate MP table. If the MP table is not there, the init 
routine will simply exit. This is something weird to me, as I take it fro 
granted that IOAPIC should be initialized using ACPI table now that ACPI is 
invented partly to take the place of MP table. Can anyone give me some 
explanations or I was just missing something? Thanks!

Best regards,
Cody
