Noticed that Andi send one more patch do enable bigsmp for AMD (i386), and the
APIC_XAPIC() check was not properly placed to factor this in. This updated
patch should work for AMD as well, and switch to bigsmp when we have hotplug
enabled.

If we are using hotplug enabled kernel, then make bigsmp the default mode.
