Yinghai Lu cb2ded37fd x86: Fix APIC ID sizing bug on larger systems, clean up MAX_APICS confusion
Found one x2apic pre-enabled system, x2apic_mode suddenly get
corrupted after register some cpus, when compiled
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=255 instead of 512.

It turns out that generic_processor_info() ==> phyid_set(apicid,
phys_cpu_present_map) causes the problem.

phys_cpu_present_map is sized by MAX_APICS bits, and pre-enabled
system some cpus have an apic id > 255.

The variable after phys_cpu_present_map may get corrupted
silently:

 ffffffff828e8420 B phys_cpu_present_map
 ffffffff828e8440 B apic_verbosity
 ffffffff828e8444 B local_apic_timer_c2_ok
 ffffffff828e8448 B disable_apic
 ffffffff828e844c B x2apic_mode
 ffffffff828e8450 B x2apic_disabled
 ffffffff828e8454 B num_processors
 ...

Actually phys_cpu_present_map is referenced via apic id, instead
index. We should use MAX_LOCAL_APIC instead MAX_APICS.

For 64-bit it will be 32768 in all cases. BSS will increase by 4k bytes
on 64-bit:

	text		data		bss		dec		filename
	21696943	4193748		12787712	38678403	vmlinux.before
	21696943	4193748		12791808	38682499	vmlinux.after

No change on 32bit.

Finally we can remove MAX_APCIS that was rather confusing.
