Hehe, quite possible ;-)

My goal was to avoid (equivalent of) #if 0 where possible, by backfilling
functionality where possible.  I also had filled out mpc_config_processor
during mp_register_lapic and tried to maintain the physid map (that bit
isn't merged).  Do you think there's value in maintaining that level of
code compatibility?

thanks,
