ICC bus was invented only to provide hotplug capability to
CPU and APIC because at the time being hotplug was available only for
BUS attached devices.

Now this patch is to drop ICC bus impl, and switch to bus-less
CPU+APIC hotplug, handling them in the same manner as pc-dimm.

Why is it here?
Shouldn't it be mapped not once but for each CPU since we are using
per CPU address spaces?

Split this change out into a separate patch please, with commit message
describing what it does.

PS:
It should be part of APIC code or at worst case part of CPU's realize.

PS2:
new cpu tests don't test actual CPU execution, so they can't validate
this change. To test it you need to run test in TCG (at least) or
TCG + KVM mode, with some guest code that programs and checks APIC
of each CPU.

PS3:
the rest of the patch I'd suggest to merge with 2/2 patch that
removes unused icc_bridge code, there isn't point in splitting
that from removing icc_bridge from other files.

that isn't the only place in this file that should be changed.

See x86_cpu_apic_create():
   cpu->apic_state = qdev_try_create(qdev_get_parent_bus(dev), apic_type);

probably it's not right to try get parent bus from bus-less device,
qdev_try_create() call should be replaced by object_new()/object_unref() pair.
Hi Igor,

when I tested for this, use object_new() to replace qdev_try_create(qdev_get_parent_bus(dev), apic_type), run with tcg, it works OK, but if run with kvm, it failed. did apic must need sysbus?

Thanks,
Chen
