Ingo, I just posted the fix for this.

To cleanup the code:

struct pv_apic_ops {
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC
	/*
	* Direct APIC operations, principally for VMI.  Ideally
	* these shouldn't be in this interface.
	*/
	void (*apic_write)(unsigned long reg, u32 v);
	void (*apic_write_atomic)(unsigned long reg, u32 v);
	u32 (*apic_read)(unsigned long reg);

Probably we should move the three above routines to basic apic_ops, which just
deal with the apic HW accesses and retain the below for pv_apic_ops, which
care more than the basic reg accesses. This will be true for both 32/64bits..

        void (*setup_boot_clock)(void);
        void (*setup_secondary_clock)(void);

        void (*startup_ipi_hook)(int phys_apicid,
                                 unsigned long start_eip,
                                 unsigned long start_esp);
#endif
};


Unless there is an objection, I will post the fix.

thanks,
