tagging freebios2 tree

For DP Xeon MB, CONFIG_MAX_CPUS should be 4 or 2?

It is used only by you said stack....

config/linuxbios_ram.ld:                . = (CONFIG_MAX_CPUS * STACK_SIZE) ;
cpu/x86/pae/pgtbl.c:    static struct pg_table pgtbl[CONFIG_MAX_CPUS]
__attribute__ ((aligned(4096)));
cpu/x86/pae/pgtbl.c:    static unsigned long mapped_window[CONFIG_MAX_CPUS];
cpu/x86/pae/pgtbl.c:    if ((index < 0) || (index >= CONFIG_MAX_CPUS)) {

Yes.  The stack is per cpu and it returns a fixed address from
the stack structure.

per-cpu.  Which is the point.
