You mean some CPUs have APIC totally disabled? Impossible: you need the APIC
enabled to be able to INIT-SIPI bootstrap the secondary processors. And Xen
itself has no code to enable disabled APICs (except some very legacy code
that executes only in the uniprocessor case, which I'm pretty sure you're
not touching).

You call your new function so late in secondary CPU bringup that our own
APIC setup has already run (via
smp_callin->{x2apic_ap_setup,setup_local_APIC}). Which would indicate that
the boot state of the secondary CPUs is not of importance to you, since you
I'm sure tested your patch as working okay in this current form, and that
would imply that you don't need to record per-cpu boot state.

The singleshot BUG_ON in record_boot_APIC_mode is broken, since secondary
CPUs can be started up multiple times (we can offline/online them). You need
to bail on repeated invocations. Or not be recording boot state for
secondary cpus since apparently it isn't needed...

We're going to be going through these patches very slowly and painfully,
because frankly the arguments and assertions seem to be plenty full of
holes.
