[PATCH v4 2/3] x86/apic: Introduce a variable to track the number of EILVT registers

From: Naveen N Rao (AMD)

Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 01:49:49 EST


Future AMD processors will be increasing the number of EILVT registers.
Rather than hardcoding the maximum EILVT register count and using that
everywhere, introduce a variable in 'struct apic' to track the EILVT
register count.

The number of EILVT registers is exposed through the extended APIC
Feature Register (APIC_EFEAT) bits 23:16. Use this to initialize the
count and fall back to the current default (APIC_EILVT_NR_AMD_10H) if
the count is not available.
