Changes V8 --> V9:
No functionality change, update and modify the comments.
- [01/12] patch: modify the comments of apic_intr_mode_select().
Currently, the check logic of BIOS is based on the original code,
Baoquan and I have discussed it in V8 for readability, I am not sure
that I can clean up it correctly, So keep it like before.
- [06/12] patch: update the comments of init_apic_mappings()
- [11/12] patch: update the comments of native_smp_prepare_cpus().
- Post the patch putting acpi_early_init() earlier independently
suggested by Rafael and Baoquan.
- Rebase it
[Background]
MP specification defines three different interrupt delivery modes as follows:
1. PIC Mode
2. Virtual Wire Mode
3. Symmetric I/O Mode
They will be setup in the different periods of booting time:
1. *PIC Mode*, the default interrupt delivery modes, will be set first.
2. *Virtual Wire Mode* will be setup during ISA IRQ initialization( step 1
in the figure.1).
3. *Symmetric I/O Mode*'s setup is related to the system
3.1 In SMP-capable system, setup during prepares CPUs(step 2)
3.2 In UP system, setup during initializes itself(step 3).

figure.1 The flow chart of the kernel startup process
[Problem]
1. Cause kernel in an unmatched mode at the beginning of booting time.
2. Cause the dump-capture kernel hangs with 'notsc' option inherited
from 1st kernel option.
3. Cause the code hard to read and maintain.
As Ingo's and Eric's discusses[1,2], it need to be refactor.
[Solution]
1. Construct a selector to unify these switches
