Subject: [PATCH 3/4] x86/apic: Introduce the per vector cpumask array

This array is a bitmap for sorting the number of vectors
assigned on each CPU, thus to quickly retrieve the CPU
which have assigned the least amount of vectors, then
choose that CPU as a hint to spread the vectors among
multiple CPUs.
