When offlining CPU's, fixup_irqs() migrates all interrupts away from the
outgoing CPU to an online CPU. Its always possible the device sent an
interrupt to the previous CPU destination. Pending interrupt bit in IRR in
lapic identifies such interrupts. apic_soft_disable() will not capture any
new interrupts in IRR. This causes interrupts from device to be lost during
cpu offline. The issue was found when explicitly setting MSI affinity to a
CPU and immediately offlining it. It was simple to recreate with a USB
ethernet device and doing I/O to it while the CPU is offlined. Lost
interrupts happen even when Interrupt Remapping is enabled.

Current code does apic_soft_disable() before migrating interrupts.

native_cpu_disable()
{
	...
	apic_soft_disable();
	cpu_disable_common();
	  --> fixup_irqs(); // Too late to capture anything in IRR.
}

Just fliping the above call sequence seems to hit the IRR checks
and the lost interrupt is fixed for both legacy MSI and when
interrupt remapping is enabled.
