Since there's another bug+test related to kvm_recalculate_apic_map()[*], I think
it makes sense to name this recalc_apic_map_test, and then fold the LDR test into
this one.  The LDR test is tiny enough that I don't think it's worth a separate
binary, even though I generally prefer to keep the selftests small.
