Hi,
Prior to MMIO-over-command-line integration, the following patch
is needed. The Firecracker VMM doesn't have ACPI, either, it relies on
MP tables. This patch allows IOAPIC to be detected by introducing a
Linux-specific behavior expected by, at least, the Firecracker VMM.
This issue was found by Colin Percival and described here:
https://www.usenix.org/publications/loginonline/freebsd-firecracker
The patch is mostly a port of Colin's work which can be seen here:

The patch: https://imil.net/NetBSD/mptable.patch
Thanks,
