This is on coreboot, right?  I don't see a commit ECA5A947 in seabios,
and I don't see how 5DBF1732 could impact mptable.  I guess it's
possible that 5DBF1732 could impact the interrupts as we no longer run
a sipi on all the processors, but I don't think SeaBIOS should have to
issue a sipi - if that is doing something that impacts the OS then
coreboot should do it as part of initializing the processors.
