Subject: [092/197] x86: Fix double enable_IR_x2apic() call on SMP kernel on !SMP boards

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@...el.com>

commit 472a474c6630efd195d3738339fd1bdc8aa3b1aa upstream.

Jan Grossmann reported kernel boot panic while booting SMP
kernel on his system with a single core cpu. SMP kernels call
enable_IR_x2apic() from native_smp_prepare_cpus() and on
platforms where the kernel doesn't find SMP configuration we
ended up again calling enable_IR_x2apic() from the
APIC_init_uniprocessor() call in the smp_sanity_check(). Thus
leading to kernel panic.

Don't call enable_IR_x2apic() and default_setup_apic_routing()
from APIC_init_uniprocessor() in CONFIG_SMP case.

NOTE: this kind of non-idempotent and assymetric initialization
sequence is rather fragile and unclean, we'll clean that up
in v2.6.35. This is the minimal fix for v2.6.34.
