[LinuxBIOS] ACPI & tyan s2881

[Baski]

If we do not advertise about the CPU info through ACPI in s2881, how come linux shows all the cpu cores through /proc/cpuinfo?
If it's using mptable, pl. give reference in filo code or wherever it is.
Thanks in advance - Baski

I don't know where Linux gets its information for /proc/cpuinfo (my
guess would be the CPUID instruction, among others), but here's the mptable
your're looking for:
