+ *
+ * The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
+ * UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
+ * SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
+ * useful in virtualized environments.
+ *
+ * The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
+ * separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
+ * and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
