From: Len Brown <len.br...@intel.com>
MPS 1.4 example code shows the following delays during processor
on-line:
INIT
udelay(10,000)
SIPI
udelay(200)
SIPI
udelay(200) /* Linux actually implements this as udelay(300) */
Linux skips the udelay(10,000) on modern processors.
This patch removes the udelay(200) after each SIPI
on those same processors.
All three legacy delays can be restored by the cmdline
"cpu_init_udelay=10000".
As measured by analyze_suspend.py, this patch speeds
processor resume time on my desktop from 2.4ms to 1.8ms, per AP.
