This breaks with SGI 320/540: arch/x86/platform/visws/visws_quirks.c: In function ‘MP_processor_info’: arch/x86/platform/visws/visws_quirks.c:169:3: error: ‘bios_cpu_physical_apicid’ undeclared (first use in this function) arch/x86/platform/visws/visws_quirks.c:169:3: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in It makes it pretty apparent that you want a different name for the new variable, bios_bsp_physical_apicid is just too close to boot_cpu_physical_apicid that even the author of the patch missed a conversion. (It's also really sad that we can't make it __initdata since it's only valid at boot because of the hotplug stuff.)
