Hi Hanjun,

This looks like a good start for cpu support.

yes, this is also is a start for APICs (LEG-465 card).

I have a query about the terminology, a lot of your comments still refer to APIC is this correct terminology on arm?

When I hack the code, I also have this question in my mind. APIC is not the correct terminology on arm, It is GIC and GIC distributor on arm, something like local APIC and IOAPIC on x86.

I think we should keep things consistent in the code, either GIC or APIC, I would prefer GIC, what's your opinion, Al, Graeme?

Thanks Hanjun
