Subject: [patch v3 33/36] x86/apic: Save the APIC virtual base address

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

For parallel CPU brinugp it's required to read the APIC ID in the low level
startup code. The virtual APIC base address is a constant because its a
fix-mapped address. Exposing that constant which is composed via macros to
assembly code is non-trivial dues to header inclusion hell.

Aside of that it's constant only because of the vsyscall ABI
requirement. Once vsyscall is out of the picture the fixmap can be placed
at runtime.

Avoid header hell, stay flexible and store the address in a variable which
can be exposed to the low level startup code.
