x86/apic: Soft disable APIC before initializing it If the APIC was already enabled on entry of setup_local_APIC() then disabling it soft via the SPIV register makes a lot of sense. That masks all LVT entries and brings it into a well defined state. Otherwise previously enabled LVTs which are not touched in the setup function stay unmasked and might surprise the just booting kernel.
