For parallel CPU brinugp it's required to read the APIC ID in the low level startup code. The virtual APIC base address is a constant because its a fix-mapped address. Exposing that constant which is composed via macros to assembly code is non-trivial due to header inclusion hell. Aside of that it's constant only because of the vsyscall ABI requirement. Once vsyscall is out of the picture the fixmap can be placed at runtime. Avoid header hell, stay flexible and store the address in a variable which can be exposed to the low level startup code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
