# HG changeset patch # Parent 9ad1e42c341bc78463b6f6610a6300f75b535fbb IO-APIC: Prevent using EOI broadcast suppression if user specified ioapic_ack=new on the command line. Currently, if EOI broadcast suppression is advertised on the BSP LAPIC, Xen will discard any user specified option regarding IO-APIC ack mode. This patch introduces a check which prevents EOI Broadcast suppression from forcing the IO-APIC ack mode to old if the user has explicitly asked for the new ack mode on the command line.
