There are three places which initialize the interrupt delivery modes: 1) init_bsp_APIC() which is called early might setup the through-local-APIC virtual wire mode on non SMP systems. 2) In an SMP-capable system, native_smp_prepare_cpus() tries to switch to symmetric I/O model. 3) In UP system with UP_LATE_INIT=y, the local APIC and I/O APIC are set up in smp_init(). There is no technical reason to make these initializations at random places and run the kernel with the potentially wrong mode through the early boot stage, but it has a problematic side effect: The late switch to symmetric I/O mode causes dump-capture kernel to hang when the kernel command line option 'notsc' is active. Provide a new function to unify that three positions. Preparatory patch to initialize an interrupt mode directly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
