Oh, what do I mean is "I/O xAPIC", but not the "local xAPIC" or xAPIC interrupt architecture introduced by Intel Pentium4 CPU. It seems that the "I/O xAPIC" hasn't been well documented yet, but some other document do have some description about it. Some Intel guys gave me an URL for the document: http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf Section 5 and section 9.5 describe 'I/OxAPIC'. I'm not sure if it is already supported by Linux, I guess it is not. -- Best Regards, Jike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
