Subject: [PATCH] arch/x86: Don't try to poke disabled/non-existent APIC

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@...ux.intel.com>

Apparently trying to poke a disabled or non-existent APIC
leads to a box that doesn't even boot. Let's not do that.

No real clue if this is the right fix, but at least my
P3 machine boots again.
