[PATCH v2 1/1] x86: Use x2apic physical mode based on FADT setting

From: Greg Pearson
Date: Tue Apr 24 2012 - 20:24:35 EST


Provide systems that do not support x2apic cluster mode
a mechanism to select x2apic physical mode using the
FADT FORCE_APIC_PHYSICAL_DESTINATION_MODE bit.

Changes from v1: (based on Suresh's comments)
- removed #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
- removed #include <linux/acpi.h>
