Marcelo, all,

	This is a backported fix from 2.5. Some of our more recent hardware
requires that SMIs are routed through the IOAPIC, thus when we
clear_IO_APIC() at boot time, we clear the BIOS initialized SMI pin.
This basically clobbers the SMI so we can then never make the transition
into ACPI mode. Additionally various other SMI functions cease to work. 
This patch simply reads the apic entry in clear_IO_APIC to make sure the
delivery_mode isn't dest_SMI. If it is, we leave the apic entry alone
and return.

With this patch, the box boots and SMIs function properly.

Please consider for inclusion.

thanks
-john
