Subject: [PATCH, v2] i386/bigsmp: eliminate false warnings regarding
	 logical APIC ID mismatches

These warnings (generally one per CPU) are a result of initializing
x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid while apic_default is still in use, but the
check in setup_local_APIC() being done when apic_bigsmp was already
used as an override in default_setup_apic_routing():

Overriding APIC driver with bigsmp
Enabling APIC mode:  Physflat.  Using 5 I/O APICs

Fix this (for the time being, i.e. until x86_32_early_logical_apicid()
will get removed again, as Tejun says ought to be possible) by
overriding the previously stored values at the point where the APIC
driver gets overridden.

v2: Move this and the pre-existing override logic into
    arch/x86/kernel/apic/bigsmp_32.c.
