Are MP tables being replaced by ACPI? I dont think my (nforce2) board has MP tables at all, relying entirely on ACPI for APIC/IO-APIC config.
At least the ES7000 has mptables/$PIR

But I guess for 2.6 it is reasonable if it only works when apic=es7000 is specified.Hmm, not keen on that.. don't like it if it means it'll probably fail to start on the ES7000 unless that parameter is specified.
Currently it will fail to start with a normal kernel because it will only work with its subarchitecture compiled in. Once someone converts it to use the generic architecture it needs some kind of probe hook and then that hook can set es7000_plat. The 2.4 patch just checks for the Unisys OEM table. -Andi ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
