Hi Hanjun,
This looks like a good start for cpu support.
I have a query about the terminology, a lot of your comments still refer to APIC is this correct terminology on arm?
Thanks

Which do we want to give preference to? You're right -- ARM does not use the term "APIC." On the other hand, the ACPI spec does, even with the reduced HW profile. My gut reaction is to be consistent with the kernel source, even if it does say APIC...
do you mean use APIC instead of GIC?
There are acpi_madt_generic_interrupt and acpi_madt_generic_distributor struct in kernel source, and ACPI_MADT_TYPE_GENERIC_INTERRUPT macro is also defined, if use "APIC", it will also lead to confusion.
Thanks Hanjun
