Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH]Clean up es7000 specific bootup code

[Keir Fraser <keir@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Applied. And you'll see that I was able to strip out even more code, in
particular variable es7000_plat just disappeared.

Now I think we could go further, as es7000 now just looks like bigsmp. If we
got rid of the es7000 genapic altogether, would your systems always fall
back to bigsmp? If not, you might need to add a Unisys OEM check to the DMI
checks in arch/x86/genapic/bigsmp.c. But I think that would be a small
addition there, and allow you to completely remove all other vestiges of
es7000-specific code, making maintenance in future easier.

Could you look into this?
