I think we do not need to make any new files only thing we need is to
rearrange stuff between existing files.

Currently there is no such protocol, If we follow this logic then it
will very easy for us to maintain things:

CONFIG_SMP -> asm/smp.h
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC -> asm/apic.h
CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC -> asm/io_apic.h

And if you want then I will give strict instructions so that we will
never face these problems again, like :-

asm/smp.h:

#ifndef CONFIG_SMP
#error "Including wrong file, why you need smp.h for Uniprocessor"
#else
...
#endif

Similarly for asm/apic.h and asm/io_apic.h
