[PATCH v4 2/3] x86, apic: Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter. To use this kernel parameter,
specify an initial APIC ID of the corresponding CPU you want to
disable.

This is mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to disable BSP to wake up
multiple CPUs without causing system reset or hang due to sending INIT
from AP to BSP.

Kdump users first figure out initial APIC ID of the BSP, CPU0 in the
1st kernel, for example from /proc/cpuinfo and then set up this kernel
parameter for the 2nd kernel using the obtained APIC ID.

This design is more flexible than disabling BSP in kernel boot time
automatically in that in kernel boot time we have no choice but
referring to ACPI/MP table to obtain initial APIC ID for BSP, meaning
that the method is not applicable to the systems without such BIOS
tables.

This is designed based on the assumption that users get initial APIC
ID of the BSP in still healthy state and so BSP is uniquely kept in
CPU0; so through this kernel parameter, only one initial APIC ID can
be specified.
