Yes - I will be busy for a few weeks with other duties, sorry for
that. There not that much diff rest:

- apic clock calibration
- x2apic operations
- interrupt handlers (different declarations)
- command line handling

ugh... maybe not that small heap of todo's :)

Anyway - before sending patches I'll fetch tip/x86/apic
branch so no problem if someone bring any changes into
the branch.

- Cyrill -
