[Xen-devel] [patch] x86: Add a delay between INIT & SIPIs for tboot AP bring-up in X2APIC case



Without this delay, Xen could not bring APs up while working with TXT/tboot, 
because tboot need some time in APs to handle INIT before becoming ready for 
receiving SIPIs.(this delay was removed as part of c/s 23724 by Tim Deegan)
