Introducing 2 parameters then:
pci=ioapicreroute to enable rerouting of interrupts to the primary io-apic,
pci=noioapicquirk to disable all sorts of io-apic quirks.
This implies that disabling boot interrupts, on bridges where we know
how to do it, will be enabled by default. I'd favor this solution
because I can't think of any harm this could possibly cause. Boot
interrupts shouldn't happen on systems that run in apic mode.
