[Xen-devel] x2apic mode vs. interrupt remapping

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

while the Linux kernel enters x2apic mode only when it was able to
initialize interrupt remapping (leaving aside a KVM special case), Xen
treats the two features as independent ones. We're having a report
where interrupt delivery doesn't work in x2apic mode (i.e. no-x2apic
makes the system boot successfully), and hence I'm wondering why
Xen would use this mode on a wider range of machines than Linux.

Thanks, Jan
