Subject: [PATCH] x86, therm: Only read the initial value of thermal LVT entry on BSP
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 13:46:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091106054646.GA26336@ywang-moblin2.bj.intel.com> (raw)

Only read the initial value of thermal LVT entry on BSP. The initial
value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads 0x10000 because
APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to them and
LVT registers are reset to 0s except for mask bits which are set to
1s when APs receive INIT IPI.

It is enough to check only BSP since BIOS is always setting the same
value for all threads/cores.
