How is this not x86-pc specific? All you're doing is creating two different
machines, one with an APIC and one without. In principle this is no different
to what we have with pc v.s. isapc.
If you want machine properties (to avoid having to enumerate all the available
machine variants) then these properties should be machine specific.
Incidentally, you patch appears to allow creation of a machine with a cpu that
claims to have an APIC, but without an APIC present. Is that intentional?
