This patch parallelizes the AP startup for Haswell-based devices. It
does not touch the generic secondary startup code. Instead it provides
its own MP support matching up with the Haswell BWG. It seemed to be too
much trouble to support the old startup way and this new way. Because of
that parallel loading is the only thing supported.
A couple of things to note:
1. Micrcode needs to be loaded twice. Once before MTRR and caching is
enabled. And a second time after SMM relocation.
2. The sipi_vector is entirely self-contained. Once it is loaded and
written back to RAM the APs do not access memory outside of the
sipi_vector load location until a sync up in ramstage.
3. SMM relocation is kicked off by an IPI to self w/ SMI set as the
destination mode.
The following are timings from cbmem with dev mode disabled and recovery mode
enabled to boot directly into the kernel. This was done on the
baskingridge CRB with a 4-core 8-thread CPU and 2 DIMMs 1GiB each. The
kernel has console enabled on the serial port. Entry 70 is the device
initialization, and that is where the APs are brought up. With these two
examples it looks to shave off ~200 ms of boot time.
