[RESEND PATCH] x86: mpparse: fix mp_bus_not_pci handling

From: Bjorn Helgaas

Dan bisected a Dell PowerEdge 4200 boot regression to commit f8924e770.
Prior to that commit, 32-bit kernels set mp_bus_not_pci for all buses
except PCI. Afterwards, we set mp_bus_not_pci only for ISA. But ISA is
not the only non-PCI bus, so it's better to always set mp_bus_not_pci
and clear it only for PCI.

The workaround was to boot with "noapic". Dan verified that with this
patch, his system boots without "noapic".
