Subject: [patch] x86, apic: use logical flat on intel with <= 8 logical cpus

On Intel platforms, we can use logical flat mode if there are <= 8
logical cpu's (irrespective of physical apic id values). This will
enable simplified and efficient IPI and device interrupt routing on
such platforms.

Fix the relevant comments while we are at it.

We can clean up default_setup_apic_routing() by using apic->probe()
but that is a different item.

There are a couple of checkpatch issues in this patch .. Could you run
it through and fix the errors that show up.. One is that you need 1 less
tab for the code inside the switch statement .. You have another switch
statement in apic.c that needs similar attention .
