    [PATCH] x86-64: always use physical delivery mode on > 8 CPUs · 07c7c474
    Ingo Molnar authored
    Remove clustered APIC mode.  There's little point in the use of clustered APIC
    mode, broadcasting is limited to within the cluster only, and chipsets have
    bugs in this area as well.  So default to physical APIC mode when the CPU
    count is large, and default to logical APIC mode when the CPU count is 8 or
    smaller.
    
    (this patch only removes the use of genapic_cluster and cleans up the
    resulting genapic.c file - removal of all remaining traces of clustered
    mode will be done by another patch.)
