SubjectRe: [PATCH] Add CONFIG_X86_APIC_OFF for i386/UP

It's harder to explain and traditionally in LILO you couldn't remove
any options (in grub you can now). I think it makes much more sense
to have an positive option for this too, not a negative one.

Also I must add my patch fixes real bugs in the code, not just
adding the new option.

I think there is much more confusion in the current way.
