On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic brings in. Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms. Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's, then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has enabled. On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it. To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification: http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode. Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request. Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to override the BIOS x2apic optout request.
