    x86, irq, ACPI: Introduce a mutex to protect IOAPIC operations from hotplug · 5da2fd26
    Jiang Liu authored
    We are going to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug, so introduce a mutex
    to protect IOAPIC data structures from IOAPIC hotplug. We choose to
    serialize in ACPI instead of in the IOAPIC core because:
    
    1) currently we only plan to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug
    2) it's much more cleaner and easier
    3) It does't affect IOAPIC discovered by devicetree, SFI and mpparse.
