Subject: [RFC -tip] x86: do_IRQ - send APIC EOI for x86-32 on irq without
	handler v3

Impact: bugfix, cleanup

We should send APIC EOI if it's enabled only.
Since the same is needed for ack_bad_irq
we just introduce ack_APIC_irq_safe which in
turn check if we have APIC properly installed
and initialized and do EOI then.

Also a tiny cleanup: use pr_... macros and
add printk_ratelimit for ack_bad_irq to eliminate
possible storm on screwed hardware.

Ingo, I've checked the sources and as far as I see
we could NOP'ify apic->write indeed but I have
an internal feeling that this will bring us more problem
in future (for example it could be the following scenario:
some screwed APIC would require cleaning of LVT's or
IRR after resume regardless if it was initialized
or not at all). Mostly I mean that the idea of making
apic->write NOP'ified is quite elegant indeed but
cut off the subset of apic operations (we need
apic->read anyway) somehow bothering me from inside :)

CC'ed a number of people I know were involved in
this area.

On the other hand I could make a testing patch for
nop'fied ->write operation so we could check if
it bring any problems in real tests. Thoughts?
