Nope. It's more complex than that. We should only use the MADT to enumerate CPUs if we are using ACPI to route PCI interrupts, so madt can't be standalone, it needs to be in the ACPI module. However, modules loaded at boot time don't get their sysinit's run until SI_SUB_KLD. However, currently, the SMP code on i386 probes CPU's at SI_SUB_TUNABLES - 1. I can fix this, but I am working on fixing bugs that people are having first. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
