Hi, if i may interject at this point in time, and ask something
related, is there any reason why we should enable APIC or IO-APIC on a
uniprocessor system? What's the difference between the 2, or what's the
practical usage of these?


I'm reading the Configure.help and Documentation/i386/IO-APIC.txt for
these 2 items and i'm confused.

Thanks.
