[ACPI] If BIOS disabled the LAPIC, believe it by default.
"lapic" is available to force enabling the LAPIC
in the event you know more than your BIOS vendor.

[ACPI] Don't enable LAPIC when the BIOS disabled it.
Doing so apparently breaks every Dell on Earth.

But those changes relate to the local APIC, which 'noapic' shouldn't
have any effect on should it ?
If the LAPIC is disabled, then you CAN'T use the IO-APIC right? So then
wouldn't the noapic option have no effects since the apic is already
disabled?
