Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/apic for 6.9-rc1 (includes a new revert)

Hi Linus,

Please pull an x86/apic revert.  The reverted commit is not x86/apic
material and was cruft left over from a merge.

I believe the sequence of events went something like this:

 * The commit in question was added to x86/urgent
 * x86/urgent was merged into x86/apic to resolve a conflict
 * The commit was zapped from x86/urgent, but *not* from x86/apic
 * x86/apic got pullled (yesterday)

I think we need to be a bit more vigilant when zapping things to
make sure none of the other branches are depending on the zapped
material.
