Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id - x86_64
hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded
hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case. When booting non SMP kernels
on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem.
This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in
the case of real hardware.
Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels
to fix this issue.
Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that
works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not
present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.
