As per ACPI specification r6.4, sec 5.2.12.19, a new subAll of my comments have been addressed, so
structure – multiprocessor wake-up structure - is added to the
ACPI Multiple APIC Description Table (MADT) to describe the
information of the mailbox. If a platform firmware produces the
multiprocessor wake-up structure, then OS may use this new
mailbox-based mechanism to wake up the APs.
Add ACPI MADT wake table parsing support for x86 platform and if
MADT wake table is present, update apic->wakeup_secondary_cpu with
new API which uses MADT wake mailbox to wake-up CPU.
