boot_cpu_physical_apicid is written in random places and in the last consequence filled with the APIC ID read from the local APIC. That causes it to have inconsistent state when the MPTABLE is broken. As a consequence tons of moronic checks are sprinkled all over the place. Consolidate the code and read it exactly once when either X2APIC mode is detected early or when the APIC mapping is established.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
