[PATCH] [7/7] Don't disable the APIC if it hasn't been mapped yet

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Wed Jan 16 2008 - 17:33:58 EST



When the kernel panics early for some unrelated reason
there would be eventually an early exception inside panic because
clear_local_APIC tried to disable the not yet mapped APIC.
Check for that explicitely.
