    x86: Allow platforms to force enable apic · 5a7ae78f
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    Some embedded x86 platforms don't setup the APIC in the
    BIOS/bootloader and would be forced to add "lapic" on the kernel
    command line. That's a bit akward.
    
    Split out the force enable code from detect_init_APIC() and allow
    platform code to call it from the platform setup. That avoids the
    command line parameter and possible replication of the MSR dance in
    the force enable code.
