Subject: xen/smp: Warn user why they keel over - nosmp or noapic and what to use instead.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ed467e69f16e6b480e2face7bc5963834d025f91;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

xen/smp: Warn user why they keel over - nosmp or noapic and what to use instead.

We have hit a couple of customer bugs where they would like to
use those parameters to run an UP kernel - but both of those
options turn of important sources of interrupt information so
we end up not being able to boot. The correct way is to
pass in 'dom0_max_vcpus=1' on the Xen hypervisor line and
the kernel will patch itself to be a UP kernel.
