Actually, I was *de*prioritizing it because things _more or less_ work without it, especially if the timeout is temporarily reduced. We probably agree that timeouts are evil in a virt setting, but even without this issue you can commit the ~70 patches that bring us to 99% of the way. Once the slate is clean and everybody is focused on the few remaining problems, we can tackle them---including broadcast SMIs. In fact, the rest of your email lists some more pressing problems than broadcast SMIs, which I'm quoting below to further remind other readers. :) Paolo > - Solving the MP-related ExitBootServices() handler bug in CpuDxe. > Patches have been on the list for almost a week.
