af54067228 Execute smp_init() before keyboard_init() in case ACPI tables are overwritten.
When USB keyboard detection is enabled, physical memory pages are reserved
for use by the USB drivers. The physical memory map exposed by pmem.h does
not indicate where the ACPI tables reside, so we may end up using pages
that contain ACPI tables (or for that matter, the boot parameters and boot
command line). So rather than introduce a more complicated memory allocation
scheme, make sure we have finished with all the data passed to us by the
BIOS and/or boot loader before we start probing for USB devices.

The only downside to this is that it is no longer possible to interactively
disable parsing of the ACPI tables - that can now only be done by using the
"nosmp" boot option.

7b41830c40 Change "smp" boot option to "nosmp".
SMP is now enabled by default, so we need an option to disable it.

ad6c7d0455 Use F10 (or '0'), not ESC to exit menus.
This avoids accidentally rebooting by pressing the key too many times.
