x86: Generate a valid MultiProcessor (MP) table
Implement write_mp_table() to create a minimal working MP table. This includes an MP floating table, a configuration table header and all of the 5 base configuration table entries. The I/O interrupt assignment table entry is created based on the same information used in the creation of PIRQ routing table from device tree. A check duplicated entry logic is applied to prevent writing multiple I/O interrupt entries with the same information. Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_MP_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we need actually write the MP table at the F seg, just like we did for PIRQ routing and SFI tables. With MP table existence, linux kernel will switch to I/O APIC and local APIC to process all the peripheral interrupts instead of 8259 PICs. This takes full advantage of the multicore hardware and the SMP kernel. Signed-off-by:Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Acked-by:
