One of possible answers is "We should build one" (See my message about SMP

by original BIOS may serve as a good reference.

Nope. Linux just sets IRQs up based on the MP
table. The MP table is
constructed by BIOS and it reflects physical routing of interrupt lines on
the board. See the code in mpparse.c. The code in io_apic.c is invoked
much later and depends on what gets prepared within mpparse.c.
what if there is no MP table?
