ADVANCED PROGRAMMABLE INTERRUPT CONTROLLER (APIC)

Presence of the Local APIC

Beginning with the P6 family processors, the presence or absence of an on-chip local APIC can
be detected using the CPUID instruction. When the CPUID instruction is executed with a source
operand of 1 in the EAX register, bit 9 of the CPUID feature flags returned in the EDX register
indicates the presence (set) or absence (clear) of a local APIC.
