I am trying to hunt down the entry point to smp_apic_timer_interrupt()
for i386.  grep found:

arch/x86_64/kernel/entry.S:     apicinterrupt LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR,smp_apic_timer_interrupt

but nothing for i386.  I noticed that entry.o on i386 does contain the
string "smp_apic_timer_interrupt", is there some kind of linker magic
going on?

Thanks,

Not linker magic, but macro magic.  Look again at entry.S at
BUILD_INTERRUPT.  It adds the smp_ onto apic_timer_interrupt.
Then look where apic_timer_interrupt is used.
