I agree we should probably disable the local APIC at reboot if we enabled it previously, but this patch is broken. CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC doesn't imply that the CPU actually has one, and even if it does, the access method may be different (e.g. P5 vs P6/K7/P4, and who knows how the future C3 with local APIC will do it).
Only apic.c knows how the local APIC was initialised (if at all), so the "disable it dammit" procedure needs to be in apic.c too.
Was the original bug report posted to LKML? I don't remember seeing it.
