>I have tested this on an Nvidia board that reports that apic 0 pin 2 >works when it does not and this code successfully programs apic 0 pin 0 >into ExtINT mode. For some CK804 boards, BIOS forget set to 8254 timer to apic0/pin2, and still leave it at apic0/pin0. but mptable and acpi said 8254 timer is to apic0/pin2. At such case we should try apic0/pin0 with INT mode instead of ExtINT mode.
