[PATCH] i386: apic= command line option should always be honored

["Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@novell.com>]

When using apic= on the kernel command line, this had no effect for machines
matched by either the ACPI MADT or the MPS OEM table scan. However, when such
option is specified, it should also take effect for this set of systems.
