According to SDM, if CPUs have APIC ID more than 254 firmware should pass control to OS in x2APIC mode. This series adds x2APIC bootstrap initialization.
QEMU side of x2APIC support: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-05/msg01094.html
Thanks Igor. The first 3 patches look good to me. I'll commit to SeaBIOS once the corresponding QEMU support is accepted.
Ping. What is the status of this in qemu? qemu 2.7 soft freeze is coming, and it is about time to plan the seabios update (1.9.3 release).
cheers, Gerd
