I am working with kernel 2.4.0-test1; the only file I believe I need to edit is mpparse.c. Does this sound right to everybody?
Yes but where does mpparse get its info from?
It usually gets a table from BIOS. But it need not to. See construct_default_ISA_mptable() for how the so-called default MP configurations are handled.
If you know details of a particular SMP board you may either build an MPS compliant MP table or provide an alternate way of providing this information together with a backend called from find_smp_config(). The backend may reuse existing code like construct_default_ISA_mptable() does.
