    [PATCH] i386: Add smp_ops interface · 01a2f435
    Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
    Add a smp_ops interface.  This abstracts the API defined by
    <linux/smp.h> for use within arch/i386.  The primary intent is that it
    be used by a paravirtualizing hypervisor to implement SMP, but it
    could also be used by non-APIC-using sub-architectures.
    
    This is related to CONFIG_PARAVIRT, but is implemented unconditionally
    since it is simpler that way and not a highly performance-sensitive
    interface.
