Can you please explain clearly:
- What are you changing. - What was the problem with the old behaviour - Why that particular change - Why can't that APIC number setup not be done by the BIOS itself
Thanks.
Please note there is a high barrier of entry for any kind of BIOS workarounds - in particular for LinuxBIOS i'm not very motivated because you guys can just fix the BIOS.
