Subject[34-longterm 169/179] x86, UV: Remove UV delay in starting slave cpus
Date
From: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 05e33fc20ea5e493a2a1e7f1d04f43cdf89f83ed upstream.

Delete the 10 msec delay between the INIT and SIPI when starting
slave cpus. I can find no requirement for this delay. BIOS also
has similar code sequences without the delay.

Removing the delay reduces boot time by 40 sec. Every bit helps.
