ACPI: Add support to parse 2nd MADT
When a BIOS bug presents multiple APIC/MADTs, Linux currently uses the 1st and ignores the 2nd. But some machines work better if we use the 2nd. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7465 Add a warning and boot parameter "acpi_apic_instance=2" to allow parsing the 2nd. No change to default behaviour in this patch. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
