Subject: fix maxcpus=N parsing
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc4~6
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=813409771731d80e6fa94199adf99f2269a4afc0;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.git

fix maxcpus=N parsing

Commit 61ec7567db103d537329b0db9a887db570431ff4 ('ACPI: boot correctly
with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"') broke 'maxcpus=' handling on x86[-64].

maxcpus=N is now having no effect on x86_64, and freezing bootup on i386
(because of inconsistency with the separate maxcpus parsing down in
arch/i386, I guess).  That's because early_param parsing is a little
different from __setup parsing, and needs the "=" omitted: then it seems
to work as the original commit intended (no mention of IO-APIC in
/proc/interrupts when maxcpus=0).
