Subject: [PATCH] x86: add X86_UPDATE_MPTABLE option


so could enable it for special purpose.
1. for acpi enabled kernel kexec kernel without acpi
2. for crossing check mptable or have correct mptable

even with this option enabled, user still need to use
update_mpatble or alloc_mptable in command line

[ Impact: new config option to disable update_mptable ]
