Subject: [ 49/59] Revert "x86/ioapic: Add register level checks to detect bogus io-apic entries"

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

This reverts commit 273fb194e86b795b08a724c7646d0f694949070b
[73d63d038ee9f769f5e5b46792d227fe20e442c5 upstream]

It causes problems, so needs to be reverted from 3.2-stable for now.
