x86/apic: Disable I/O APIC before shutdown of the local APIC
commit 522e6646 upstream. In reboot and crash path, when we shut down the local APIC, the I/O APIC is still active. This may cause issues because external interrupts can still come in and disturb the local APIC during shutdown process. To quiet external interrupts, disable I/O APIC before shutdown local APIC.

It's a fine change nevertheless. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Cc: Rui Xiang <rui.xiang@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
