I went looking for how this registration happens.  I was expecting to
see something apic_force_enable() do something similar to
register_lapic_address().

But the apic_force_enable()=>apic_verify() call chain is pretty shallow
and I'm not seeing a lot of overlap.

Am I reading the "registers" part of this too literally?
