 There is also the 82489DX, which our 32-bit code is meant to support, and
which is 8-bit physical, 32-bit logical, and which differs from the other
APICs slightly here and there -- please be careful about that.

 If you propose to rename the functions from apic_* to apic_mem_* to
signify memory-mapped rather then MSR access to the device (how
interestingly history repeats itself, with a design dated back to the VAX
now reappearing in the x86), then it sounds reasonable to me and you
surely have my support.
