Reading through the code let me pause a moment and say:
"Yowzers the interrupt initialization code has gotten hard to follow.  It
is now full of indirection with ill defined semantics."  pre_vector_init
indeed.

I will argue this is the wrong fix.

We really should not have to worry about getting the system functional
in virtual wire mode on a modern system.  And looking at the code
someone has done half the work and made it conditional under
acpi_gbl_reduced_hardware.

Now reduced hardware implies a bit more than we ware talking about but
if there is ACPI apic information we should not need to worry about
external interrupts and can just enable the apics.

In fact I think having MPtable information is enough for that.

So I think what needs to happens is for the apic initialization to get
an overhaul that makes apic initialization the happy path and the other
irq controllers the odd backwards compatibility path.  And when we
are done we never run in anything except full apic mode unless the
hardware doesn't support it.

I think that will leave things more robust as we don't need to setup
and then reset up the interrupts during boot.
