Hi Maciej,
It actually depends on the APIC type, rather than the CPU. E.g. with
Pentium systems the width of the ID is either 4 bits or 8 bits,
depending on whether the integrated or an external 82489DX APIC is
used. This should be able to be determined by the APIC version; for
v <= 0xf the ID is 8-bit and for v >= 0x10 it used to be 4-bit. Now
you only need to determine what is the value of v above 0x10 that
makes the ID 8-bit again.
That would be v>=0x14 for Intel. But that is wrong for AMD CPUs. The
actual Dual-Core Athlon CPUs we have report an APIC version of 0x10.
Please refer to the start of this thread.
Anyway, I understand that you agree this does not belong into the
subarch code?
Regards
Martin
