I'm the person who put those there, and yes, they are meant to be
annoying. I was hoping that someone who already knew the insides
of motherboard chips would pick it up and fix it, but I guess not...
Essentially they refer to the fact that an APIC pin is directly
connected to a PCI INT, (theoretically) freeing up the ISA path
for another INT source on the ISA bus. I believed at the time
that this could be done by reprogramming the PCI/ISA redirection
circuit in the MB chipset, but never got around to proving it.
At the very least they could be moved to "if ( bootverbose ) ..."
Someone might also remove the:
interrupt mask = cam <- SMP: XXX
^^^^^^^^^^^
from:
trap.c: printf(" <- SMP: XXX");
I have no memory as to whether the associated comment is valid!
