There are two consumers of apic=: the APIC debug level and the low

Append the second description.

not play well with APC CPU idle - disable it if you have
APC and your system crashes randomly.

Change the amount of debugging information output
when initialising the APIC and IO-APIC components.

How about this?
For X86-32, this can also be used to specify an APIC
driver name.
Format: apic=drivername
Example: apic=bigsmp
Pretty good! Will use it in the next version.
Thanks.
