Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] Documentation, x86, apic,
 kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter

Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter to disable the CPU with the
specified number of initial APIC ID, mostly used for the kdump 2nd
kernel to disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without causing system
reset or hang due to sending INIT from AP to BSP.
