On a slightly different topic, how come we're using physflat for hotplug 
cpu?

-#ifndef CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG
                /* In the CPU hotplug case we cannot use broadcast mode
                   because that opens a race when a CPU is removed.
-                  Stay at physflat mode in this case.
-                  It is bad to do this unconditionally though. Once
-                  we have ACPI platform support for CPU hotplug
-                  we should detect hotplug capablity from ACPI tables and
-                  only do this when really needed. -AK */
+                  Stay at physflat mode in this case. - AK */
+#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
                if (num_cpus <= 8)
                        genapic = &apic_flat;
