3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx> commit 522e66464467543c0d88d023336eec4df03ad40b upstream. In reboot and crash path, when we shut down the local APIC, the I/O APIC is still active. This may cause issues because external interrupts can still come in and disturb the local APIC during shutdown process. To quiet external interrupts, disable I/O APIC before shutdown local APIC.
