The biggest question is probably if we can use an existing hook of some
sort.

Overriding the apic method is probably not the right way to go, though.
 tglx, do you have any opinions here?

Furthermore, this really is not nice:

Not only don't you set boot_error for the code above it, but there is
absolutely no indication how that does its job (are those active
operations?  If so they should use writel()), nor does it include any
kind of synchronization.
