I also strongly dislike the 'avic_physical_id_cache', but if you are refactoring
it, IMHO the 'avic_physical_id_entry' is just as confusing since its a pointer
to an entry and not the entry itself.

At least a comment to explain where this pointer points, or maybe (not sure)
drop the avic_physical_id_cache completely and calculate it every time
(I doubt that there is any perf loss due to this)
