Oops! Sorry to confuse you, here what I want to say is that the code
make me think that we set through IO-APIC first, then set through
Local-APIC then. But, we can be only in one mode of them.

Just worry about this code seems ignore the irq remapping situation.

We call switch_to_legacy_irq_mode() directly in machine_kexec(),
why we also set x86_io_apic_ops:

   .disable = switch_to_legacy_irq_mode

Yes, Absolutely right!

I think so.
