Yeah, right - and we all know that BIOS writers would _never_ violate the
specs, would they? ESPECIALLY for setting up PCI devices.

Sounds like it might be time for separating CONFIG_APIC from CONFIG_SMP.

I'd do it if I had the time at the moment - perhaps it's time to follow
through on my persistent threats to find an employer who'll pay me to do
things like that all day, rather than only half :)
