This has got to be the strangest config option.
X86_IO_APIC makes sense.  Fundamentally it is the wrong config option but that
isn't the fault of your code.

PCI_MSI should not matter.

Is it possible to run in x2apic mode without running in interrupt remapping mode?
Just send the irqs directly to the cpu?  It feels like it should be if an iommu
doesn't get in the way.
