Hi,

Is there an user command to observe the APICID value ?

One consumer of Initial APICID will be x86gentopo (SMBIOS based
FMA Topology) If other Solaris components use Initial APICID or
APIC20 register, it might aid in adding both to kstats, both can be listed
with kstat:cpu_info module, as APICID is a salient attribute of the CPU.

Example name-values for kstat cpu_info look as below, today..

module: cpu_info instance: 7
name: cpu_info7 class: misc
brand Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm)
Processor 2356
chip_id 1
clock_MHz 2300
clog_id 3

current_cstate 0

fpu_type i387 compatible
