Subject[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: allow BSP to handle INIT IPIs like APs do
Date
The INIT IPI event handler special cases the boot-strap processor
(BSP) handling, avoiding the same mp state handling which is done for
the other (AP) processors. Debugging a linux guest usage scenario of
avoiding a reboot through the bios for a crash on any processor via eg:
kexec -p /boot/vmlinuz --initrd=/boot/initrd --append="$(cat /proc/cmdline)\
maxcpus=1" led to identifying this change as the needed fix.

With this change, an AP can now startup the BSP without error.
