On kvm guest, the latest kernel will always print warning during kdump kernel
boots
as below. The reaons is the legacy irq mode is disabled before jump to
kexec/kdump
kernel. So in setup_local_APIC(), the do { xxx } while (queued && max_loops > 0)
can't handle if pending irq exists in APIC IRR since LAPIC is disabled. It will
terminate the do while loop finally when max_loops overflows by subtraction.
Then
WARN_ON(max_loops <= 0) is triggered.

[ 0.001000] masked ExtINT on CPU#0
With patch 2/3 applied, the above warning disappeared. And with patch 2/3
applied, the issue mentioned in patch 1/3 can also be fixed because the LAPIC
has been set as ExtINT before jump to kdump kernel, while we had better set it
explicitly. Seems no reason not to enable legacy irq mode before jump to
kexec/kdump kernel, and can make it be consistent with normal kernel.
Patch 3/3 is doing clean up, I am fine if people think it's unnecessary.
