Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: RFC decouple legacy irq handling in ioapic

This patch uses platform feature flags to separate i8259/PIC from ioapic.
A cleaner solution might be adding abstraction for device interrupt
controller and moving apic initialization earlier so that
platforms with legacy replace devices can boot without the constriant of
PIC, PIT, etc. Such change obviously introduces risk.

The intention of this patch is also to show what kind of changes are needed
for non-pc x86 platform such as Moorestown MID. perhpas we can take a phased
approach.
