Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86, ioapic: In mpparse use mp_register_ioapic

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

commit cf7500c0ea133d66f8449d86392d83f84010263 upstream.

Long ago MP_ioapic_info was the primary way of setting up our
ioapic data structures and mp_register_ioapic was a compatibility
shim for acpi code.  Now the situation is reversed and
and mp_register_ioapic is the primary way of setting up our
ioapic data structures.

Keep the setting up of ioapic data structures uniform by
having mp_register_ioapic call mp_register_ioapic.

This changes a few fields:

- type: is now hardset to MP_IOAPIC but type had to
  bey MP_IOAPIC or MP_ioapic_info would not have been called.

- flags: is now hard coded to MPC_APIC_USABLE.
  We require flags to contain at least MPC_APIC_USEBLE in
  MP_ioapic_info and we don't ever examine flags so dropping
  a few flags that might possibly exist that we have never
  used is harmless.

- apicaddr: Unchanged

- apicver: Read from the ioapic instead of using the cached
  hardware value in the MP table.  The real hardware value
  will be more accurate.

- apicid: Now verified to be unique and changed if it is not.
  If the BIOS got this right this is a noop.  If the BIOS did
  not fixing things appears to be the better solution.

This adds gsi_base and gsi_end values to our ioapics defined with
the mpatable, which will make our lives simpler later since
we can always assume gsi_base and gsi_end are valid.
