    x86/smpboot: Init apic mapping before usage · 1e90a13d
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    The recent changes, which forced the registration of the boot cpu on UP
    systems, which do not have ACPI tables, have been fixed for systems w/o
    local APIC, but left a wreckage for systems which have neither ACPI nor
    mptables, but the CPU has an APIC, e.g. virtualbox.
    
    The boot process crashes in prefill_possible_map() as it wants to register
    the boot cpu, which needs to access the local apic, but the local APIC is
    not yet mapped.
    
    There is no reason why init_apic_mapping() can't be invoked before
    prefill_possible_map(). So instead of playing another silly early mapping
    game, as the ACPI/mptables code does, we just move init_apic_mapping()
    before the call to prefill_possible_map().
    
    In hindsight, I should have noticed that combination earlier.
    
    Sorry for the churn (also in stable)!
