PATCH 1/1 i386, apic: fix 4 bit apicid assumption of mach-default

Andi/Andrew,

Can you pick this up for your trees and if there are no issues, can you please push it to mainline before .23 gets released.

We have seen a boot failure with fewer cpu sockets populated on a MP platform. Similar problem can happen on a fully populated system, if # of cpus <= 8 and any of the apic id's is > 16

thanks,
suresh

Fix get_apic_id() in mach-default, so that it uses 8 bits incase of xAPIC case and 4 bits for legacy APIC case.

This fixes the i386 kernel assumption that apic id is less than 16 for xAPIC platforms with 8 cpus or less and makes the kernel boot on such platforms.
