Change subject: cpu/x86/smm: Drop unused CONFIG_SMM_LAPIC_REMAP_MITIGATION symbol ......................................................................
Patch Set 8:
Sounds like a good protection mechanism. Any reason this is only needed on i945-nehalem?
On Intel: Sandybridge (the next newer one we supported back then) does that check itself in "hardware" (with the assumption that following chipsets will do as well) while for pre-i945 we didn't have SMM.
AMD/Via: Stuff is sufficiently different that they don't fail the same way.
non-x86: no SMM \o/
