static int __init maxcpus(char *str)
{
	get_option(&str, &setup_max_cpus);
	if (setup_max_cpus == 0)
		disable_ioapic_setup();

	return 0;
}
early_param("maxcpus", maxcpus);

>From arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_32.c:

static int __init parse_noapic(char *arg)
{
	/* disable IO-APIC */
	disable_ioapic_setup();
	return 0;
}
early_param("noapic", parse_noapic);

Both call disable_ioapic_setup(), so how can they not be the same?
