I was reading Tigran's 2.4 kernel docs about SMP boot up. I am interested in
knowing the diff between an kernel thread and idle thread.what exactly is an
idle thread? y do the APs need to have an idle thread associated with them? also
please explain a bit about  trampoline.s
I am not subscribed , so email me.
