[PATCH -v2] x86, ioapic: Don't write io_apic ID if it is not changed

[Yinghai Lu]

For 32bit mptable path, setup_ids_from_mpc() always write io apic id
register, even there is no change needed.

So try to do that when they are different bewteen reading out and mptable

-v2: update to recent setup_ioapic_ids_from_mpc() split..
