This is a bug, but this isn't the right fix.
trampoline.c has:
#if defined(CONFIG_X86_64) && defined(CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP)
#define __trampinit
#define __trampinitdata
#else
#define __trampinit __cpuinit
#define __trampinitdata __cpuinitdata
#endif
... because on i386 we don't use the trampoline for ACPI return.
This means one of these is true:
- Either we need the AP trampoline for tboot on i386, and the above
definition in trampoline.c needs to be fixed; or
- The CONFIG_X86_TRAMPOLINE in tboot.c is too generous, and in fact it
needs to be set to defined(CONFIG_X86_64) && defined(CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP)
just like the above code.
Sending to Joseph and Shane to figure out...
