iirc it was Xen related patch. So it's not that simple.

I've pointed out Sheng about disable_apic. I'm not Xen
specialist but Xen team seem to use specific apic setup
so our "dummy" operations are not involved (case they
set disable_apic=1 without "turn off" apic ops in real).
Something like that.
