[PATCH] i386/x86-64 disable LAPIC completely for offline CPU
Disabling LAPIC timer isn't sufficient. In some situations, such as we enabled NMI watchdog, there is still unexpected interrupt (such as NMI) invoked in offline CPU. This also avoids offline CPU receives spurious interrupt and anything similar.
