[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/apic: Update the 'apic=' description of setting APIC driver

From: Dou Liyang
Date: Sun Dec 03 2017 - 23:03:41 EST


There are two consumers of apic=: the APIC debug level and the low
level generic architecture code, but Linux just documented the first
one.

Append the second description.
