Hm, and they still don't give a hint of who sets the IOAPIC pin 1-through 15
to destination 3.

Excellent, IOAPIC PIN1 should have dest 1... but

It is 3 here?

And then later we set the destination to 3.

Compared this to how Xen works it is pretty much exactly the same.
Except that I think Xen forces the IO APIC to be reset. Here it looks
as if it is untouched from the boot - but who knows?

I think you need to figure out who sets the IO APIC entries earlier
on. It might be as well that nobody does and this is what the BIOS
came up and under Xen we clear it up.
