not invoked either.

The invocation of x86_init.intr_mode_init() will be moved from
native_smp_prepare_cpus() in a follow up patch to solve <INSERT
REASON/PROBLEM>.

I asked you to be more specific here before. So: what will be solved?
Can I select a problem I like? ;-)

Oops, I am sorry I missed it. I will modify it.

...to solve the dump-capture kernel hangs, if there is a notsc option
in its command line.


That move would cause the invocation of x86_init.intr_mode_init() for XEN
PV platforms. To prevent that, override the default x86_init.intr_mode_init()
callback with a noop().
