In MPS mode, "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0" boot a UP kernel with IOAPIC disabled.
However, in ACPI mode, these parameters didn't completely disable
the IO APIC initialization code and boot failed.

init/main.c:
	Disable the IO_APIC if "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
	undefine disable_ioapic_setup() when it doesn't apply.

i386:
	delete ioapic_setup(), it was a duplicate of parse_noapic()
	delete undefinition of disable_ioapic_setup()

x86_64:
	rename disable_ioapic_setup() to parse_noapic() to match i386
	define disable_ioapic_setup() in header to match i386

Some hardware will malfunction at a temperature below
the BIOS provided critical shutdown threshold.

This hook allows moving the critical trip points down
to a temperature which provokes a graceful shutdown
before the hardware malfunction.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8884

WARNING: A trip-point override will not get noticed
until the system delivers a temperature change event,
or unless thermal zone polling is enabled.
eg. "thermal.tzp=10"

<title>ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip point</title>

<id>f8707ec9643769957065405b5090e4aa64fd8214</id>
<content type='text'>
thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points
in all ACPI thermal zones.

thermal.act=C, where C &gt; 0, overrides all lowest temperature
active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius.
Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent
up to a higher temperature.  However, it will not allow you to
raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher
trip point (if there is one).  Lowering this trip point may
kick in the fan sooner.

Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts
to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point.
This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently
if temperature frequently crosses C.

WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults
may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten
its life.

<title>ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.nocrt" to disable critical actions</title>

<id>f54871456162aff557d57bec51639b1288d4a84b</id>
<content type='text'>
thermal.nocrt=1 disables actions on _CRT and _HOT
ACPI thermal zone trip-points.  They will be marked
as &lt;disabled&gt; in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points.

There are two cases where this option is used:

1. Debugging a hot system crossing valid trip point.

   If your system fan is spinning at full speed,
   be sure that the vent is not clogged with dust.
   Many laptops have very fine thermal fins that are easily blocked.

   Check that the processor fan-sink is properly seated,
   has the proper thermal grease, and is really spinning.

   Check for fan related options in BIOS SETUP.
   Sometimes there is a performance vs quiet option.
   Defaults are generally the most conservative.

   If your fan is not spinning, yet /proc/acpi/fan/
   has files in it, please file a Linux/ACPI bug.

   WARNING: you risk shortening the lifetime of your
   hardware if you use this parameter on a hot system.
   Note that this refers to all system components,
   including the disk drive.

2. Working around a cool system crossing critical
   trip point due to erroneous temperature reading.

   Try again with CONFIG_HWMON=n
   There is known potential for conflict between the
   the hwmon sub-system and the ACPI BIOS.
   If this fixes it, notify lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org
   and linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org

   Otherwise, file a Linux/ACPI bug, or notify
   just linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org.
