+Subject: xen/smp: Warn user why they keel over - nosmp or noapic and what to use instead.
+
+From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
+
+commit ed467e69f16e6b480e2face7bc5963834d025f91 upstream.
+
+We have hit a couple of customer bugs where they would like to
+use those parameters to run an UP kernel - but both of those
+options turn of important sources of interrupt information so
+we end up not being able to boot. The correct way is to
+pass in 'dom0_max_vcpus=1' on the Xen hypervisor line and
+the kernel will patch itself to be a UP kernel.
+
+Fixes bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637308
