    x86/apic: Prepare for unifying the interrupt delivery modes setup · 4b1669e8

    There are three places which initialize the interrupt delivery modes:
    
    1) init_bsp_APIC() which is called early might setup the through-local-APIC
       virtual wire mode on non SMP systems.
    
    2) In an SMP-capable system, native_smp_prepare_cpus() tries to switch to
       symmetric I/O model.
    
    3) In UP system with UP_LATE_INIT=y, the local APIC and I/O APIC are set up
       in smp_init().
    
    There is no technical reason to make these initializations at random places
    and run the kernel with the potentially wrong mode through the early boot
    stage, but it has a problematic side effect: The late switch to symmetric
    I/O mode causes dump-capture kernel to hang when the kernel command line
    option 'notsc' is active.
    
    Provide a new function to unify that three positions. Preparatory patch to
    initialize an interrupt mode directly.
