title: Wakeup Mailbox for Intel processors

description: |
  The Wakeup Mailbox provides a mechanism for the operating system to wake up
  secondary CPUs on Intel processors. It is an alternative to the INIT-!INIT-
  SIPI sequence used on most x86 systems.
 
  The structure and operation of the mailbox is described in the Multiprocessor
  Wakeup Structure of the ACPI specification version 6.6 section 5.2.12.19 [1].
 
  The implementation of the mailbox in platform firmware is described in the
  Intel TDX Virtual Firmware Design Guide section 4.3.5 [2].
