x86, mrst: add nop functions to x86_init mpparse functions
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Moorestown does not have BIOS provided MP tables, we can save some time
by avoiding scaning of these tables. e.g.
[    0.000000] Scan SMP from c0000000 for 1024 bytes.
[    0.000000] Scan SMP from c009fc00 for 1024 bytes.
[    0.000000] Scan SMP from c00f0000 for 65536 bytes.
[    0.000000] Scan SMP from c00bfff0 for 1024 bytes.

Searching EBDA with the base at 0x40E will also result in random pointer
deferencing within 1MB. This can be a problem in Lincroft if the pointer
hits VGA area and VGA mode is not enabled.
