but it doesn't say anything about local apic again. How can I check that it's really disabled?

I think you were trying for "acpi=noirq noapic nolapic". And, it
wouldn't hurt to throw in a "pci=noacpi" for good measure. Most of the
'net gets these parameters wrong, though, so I realize you saw someone
else recommend this...
Note, also, that "acpi=off" would give you the same IRQ-related results
as "acpi=noirq" (and disable the rest of ACPI, also).
Changing to acpi=off did not fix the problem. I'm a little concerned with whether it's really off though, it seems to turn on local apic before reading the kernel options:
