    Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id - i386 · a36166c6
    Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao authored May 09, 2007
    
    
    hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded
    hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case.  When booting non SMP kernels
    on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem.
    This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in
    the case of real hardware.
    
    Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels
    to fix this issue.
    
    Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that
    works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not
    present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.
