Hi all,

One thing confused me.

The disconnect_bsp_APIC() may restore the interrupt delivery mode into
virtual wire mode. it uses the vector F as the spurious interrput, But,
IMO, using the vector 0xFF(SPURIOUS_APIC_VECTOR) may more suitable and
will give us more detail. Why the disconnect_bsp_APIC() use vector F
here?

It caused the action to fail which we try to restore boot irq mode
in reboot and kexec/kdump. Details can be seen in patch 0002.

Warning can always be seen during kdump kernel boot on qemu/kvm
platform. Our customer even saw casual kdump kernel hang once in
~30 attempts during stress testing of kdump on KVM machine.

This is v3 post, patches are rearranged and changed according to
Eric's suggestions.

Baoquan He (5):
   x86/apic: Split out restore_boot_irq_mode from disable_IO_APIC
   x86/apic: Fix restoring boot irq mode in reboot and kexec/kdump
   x86/apic: Remove useless disable_IO_APIC
   x86/apic: Rename variable/function related to x86_io_apic_ops
   x86/apic: Set up through-local-APIC on boot CPU if 'noapic' specified
