The best way to turn it off is in the kernel configuration options.
That is if you are compiling a kernel. Otherwise read the
documentation that explains all of this in detail. It is in the
linux kernel source tree.
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt is the correct
file. 

I have had real problems with apic with strange lockups. apci
seems more stable in 2.6.10-rc[12] releases.

Good luck,

Alan
