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.
