Add kernel support for new ACPI "sapic" tables that contain 16-bit APICIDs.
This patch simply adds parsing of an optional SAPIC table if present.
Otherwise, the traditional local APIC table is used.

Note: the SAPIC table is not a new ACPI table - it exists on other architectures
but is not currently recognized by x86_64.

IIR the x2apic scheme entails using the legacy entries for the
first 256 entries, and extended entries for the processors above that, no?

Here we seem to be assuming all lapic or all sapic entries.
