x86: apic - introduce dummy apic operations
Impact: refactor, speed up and robustize code
In case if apic was disabled by kernel option
or by hardware limits we can use dummy operations
in apic->write to simplify the ack_APIC_irq() code.
At the lame time the patch fixes the missed EOI in
do_IRQ function (which has place if kernel is compiled
as X86-32 and interrupt without handler happens where
apic was not asked to be disabled via kernel option).
Note that native_apic_write_dummy() consists of
WARN_ON_ONCE to catch any buggy writes on enabled
APICs. Could be removed after some time of testing.
