-8.11 - MP Table Override
-.R
-.ihtml h2
-
-.I
-This horrible hack should be considered obsolete, in particular with the implementation of APIC renaming and MSI. It might still be useful.
-.R
-
-Since some motherboard/BIOS manufacturer don't care about anything but ACPI, the MP table might be in an unusable state which meant that
-.CW *nomp=1
-had to be used. The new MP Table Override can be used to specify an entirely different MP table for 9front to use.
-
-To specify an MP table the
-.CW *mp
-and \f(CW*mp\fR\fIN\fR options are used, for example (for illustration purposes, not a valid mp table):
-.P1
-*mp=16
-*mp0=00 11 33 13 15
-*mp1=16 99 DD 1C
-*mp2=9F 81 2a 0a 7b 8c 1c
-.P2
-.CW *mp
-specifies the size in byte and \f(CW*mp\fR\fIN\R, where \fIN\fR is a consecutive number starting with zero, specifies the data in hex form.
-
-The in-hardware table can be dumped with
-.CW *dumpmp=1
-(PROTIP: use a serial console).

-is useful to have handy.
-
-.SH
-To Do
-.R
-
-(Some are mutually exclusive)
-
-• Write an utility to generate a proper table from Linux or similar
-
-• Write user space tools to manipulate the mp table
-
-• Calculate size automatically (and drop \f(CW*mp\fR)
-
-• Use a text based format parsed by the kernel
-
-• Fix MP support altogether (might not be feasible)
