Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 03/12] x86/apic: Prepare for unifying the interrupt delivery modes setup

There are three positions for initializing the interrupt delivery
modes:

1) In IRQ initial function, may setup the through-local-APIC
   virtual wire mode.

2) In an SMP-capable system, will try to switch to symmetric I/O
   model when preparing the cpus in native_smp_prepare_cpus().

3) In UP system with UP_LATE_INIT=y, will set up local APIC and
   I/O APIC in smp_init().

Switching to symmetric I/O model is so late, which causes the
dump-capture kernel hangs with 'notsc' option inherited from 1st kernel
option.

Preparatory patch to initialize an interrupt mode directly and provide
a new function init_interrupt_mode() to unify that three positions and
do that setup as soon as possible.
