[ top posting blows. don't do it ]
I think you are confusing APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller) with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
APIC (re)maps interrupts. Some SMP boards do this in ways that are
unexpected to a UP kernel, so in that sense your advice may be correct
:-)
