    x86, ioapic: In mpparse use mp_register_ioapic · cf7500c0

    Long ago MP_ioapic_info was the primary way of setting up our
    ioapic data structures and mp_register_ioapic was a compatibility
    shim for acpi code.  Now the situation is reversed and
    and mp_register_ioapic is the primary way of setting up our
    ioapic data structures.
    
    Keep the setting up of ioapic data structures uniform by
    having mp_register_ioapic call mp_register_ioapic.
    
    This changes a few fields:
    
    - type: is now hardset to MP_IOAPIC but type had to
      bey MP_IOAPIC or MP_ioapic_info would not have been called.
    
    - flags: is now hard coded to MPC_APIC_USABLE.
      We require flags to contain at least MPC_APIC_USEBLE in
      MP_ioapic_info and we don't ever examine flags so dropping
      a few flags that might possibly exist that we have never
      used is harmless.
    
    - apicaddr: Unchanged
    
    - apicver: Read from the ioapic instead of using the cached
      hardware value in the MP table.  The real hardware value
      will be more accurate.
    
    - apicid: Now verified to be unique and changed if it is not.
      If the BIOS got this right this is a noop.  If the BIOS did
      not fixing things appears to be the better solution.
    
    This adds gsi_base and gsi_end values to our ioapics defined with
    the mpatable, which will make our lives simpler later since
    we can always assume gsi_base and gsi_end are valid.
