The todo list looks somethign like:
+ Add ACPI MADT APIC enumerator.
- Use APIC ID's for index in lapics[] array instead of ACPI IDs, ACPI
IDs are not guaranteed to be non-sparse
+ solve ACPI module problem where madt wants APIC symbols :(
(this is gross)
- doesn't work when loaded as a module
- UMA needs to be fixed to not need mp_maxid so early
- other workaround is to fix mp_maxid at MAXCPU
- move cpu_mp_probe() to SI_SUB_CPU (perhaps shuffle SI of other
SMP sysinits as a result)
- update apic enumerators to probe CPUs later
- have apic enumerators hookup to the apic subsystem after SI_SUB_KLD
maybe SI_ORDER_LAST
Where '+' is something that has been implemented, and '-' remains
to be done.
