 Shouldn't it be the other way round then?  Our 32-bit code is the
original one and supports more APIC variations than the 64-bit one.  So at
the point of unification 64-bit xAPIC-only functions will become universal
ones making the naming counter-intuitive: apic_ -> any APIC, xapic_ ->
xAPIC only.  I think only functions specific to the xAPIC should have the
xapic_ prefix.
