Doesn't do much but provided the detection path for it and ability to hold initialized state. The higher level platform code is going to need to use it directly so will mostly just provide an api for access to it. Moved ACPI sniffing back to just after the VM is initialized instead of all the way into platform_init(). This should try to ensure that all drivers that come up afterwards will have ioapics discovered in case future development tries to enable and use them, kicking the machine out of virtual-wire-mode.
The Little Kernel Embedded Operating System
The LK kernel is an SMP-aware kernel designed for small systems ported to a variety of platforms and cpu architectures.
It is used in a variety of open source and closed source projects, notably the bootloader for a lot of Android phones of various make.
See https://github.com/littlekernel/lk for the latest version.
For comprehensive documentation, see Index.
