sys/amd64/amd64 local_apic.c
Log:
Don't check the CPUID_APIC bit in the cpu_features flags field to determine
if the boot CPU has a local APIC because some BIOS vendors are not
competent enough to set this bit. Instead, just assume that we always have
a local APIC on amd64. For i386 the check is a bit more subtle. FreeBSD
requires either an MP Table or an ACPI MADT table to enumerate APICs. The
only systems that have one of those tables that don't have local APICs are
some presumably rare (and old) SMP 486 systems using external APICs. Thus,
instead of checking the CPUID_APIC flag, check the CPU class and abort if
we are running on a 486.
