                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.

    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 05e33fc20ea5e493a2a1e7f1d04f43cdf89f83ed upstream.

Delete the 10 msec delay between the INIT and SIPI when starting
slave cpus. I can find no requirement for this delay. BIOS also
has similar code sequences without the delay.

Removing the delay reduces boot time by 40 sec. Every bit helps.
