This patch set is to allow kdump 2nd kernel to wake up multiple CPUs,

[PATCH v3 0/2] x86, apic, kdump: Disable BSP if boot cpu is AP
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/16/300.

At v4, basic design has changed. Now users need to figure out initial
APIC ID of BSP in the 1st kernel and configures kernel parameter for
the 2nd kernel manually using disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter,
which is newly introduced by this patch set. This design is more
flexible than the previous version in that we no longer have to rely
on ACPI/MP table to get initial APIC ID of BSP.

Sorry, this patch set have not include in-source documentation
requested by Borislav Petkov yet, but I'll post it later separately,
which would be better to focus on documentation reviewing.

Hi hpa,

Can you please consider this patch for inclusion.

Thanks
Vivek


Hello HPA,

Could you please give me a next feedback for inclusion?

This patch set has already been acked by Vivek and now I'm waiting for a reaction of x86 maintainers.
