Thanks looks good. This should fix the unexplained
hang for various people. Logical<->apicid  is actually ok, the low
level _mask function takes care of that (it differs depending on the 
APIC mode anyways) 

There are some style problems, but that can be fixed later.

How did you track that nasty it down?
