What breaks precisely?
Note that KVM_GET/SET_MP_STATE are generic IOCTLs and supposed to be
shared with ia64 - one day. We could still move things back then, but
maybe we can handle the build issues already in place, specifically as
qemu-kvm is carrying this in generic code since ages.
mp_state is pretty specific to the in-kernel apic. ia64 may share
because it shares an interrupt controller but that does not make it
generic. That just makes two architectures have a common field.
I don't think there's anything wrong with kvm exposing this as a common
ioctl but from a qemu perspective, it makes no sense as a common cpu
field. It only makes sense when using kvm and when using an in-kernel
apic. That's very architecture specific from an qemu perspective.
