From 92f17f0171e864a2cbe448c5b7b473e72a7d27b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 00:11:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86: Apm is on cpu zero only APM BIOS code has a protective wrapper that runs it only on CPU zero. Thus, no need to set APM BIOS segments in the GDT for other CPUs.
