In case if apic was disabled by kernel option or hardware limits we could use dummy operations such as apic->write at moment. Same time the patch fixes the missed EOI in do_IRQ function (which has place if kernel is compiled as X86-32 and interrupt without handler happens where apic was not asked to be disabled via kernel option). Note that native_apic_write_dummy consists of WARN_ON_ONCE to catch any unpredictable writes on enabled APICs. Could be removed after long time of testing.
