X86_UP_IOAPIC is a way so that 32-bit UP systems can enable
X86_IOAPIC. X86_UP_IOAPIC is only as a visible user option if
you are on a 32-bit system but have X86_UP_APIC enabled. X86_UP_APIC
will be enabled by force if you have PCI_MSI on 32-bit systems
now, X86_UP_APIC will now only be user selectable if you didn't
have PCI_MSI enabled and are also not on a X86_32_NON_STANDARD
system. Bryan's original patch (refactored commit log in commit
38a1dfda) [0] describes that Intel CE, Intel MID and Intel Quark
are all 32-bit uniprocessor systems with IO-APICs, the code change
however only *re-enabled* UP_IOAPIC as an *option* when PCI_MSI
was enabled, but given that:

1) enabling X86_IOAPIC is the real end goal here
2) enabling X86_IOAPIC only increases the kernel only by 12064 bytes (~12 KiB)
3) enabling X86_IOAPIC will in no way slow down your kernel

Let's make a compromise for 32-bit systems and always enable X86_IOAPIC
when X86_UP_IOAPIC is enabled as 32-bit systems are not in a state
of flux and the price for the size is small with no performance impact.

Using:

export ARCH=i386
make allnoconfig
--> Enabling PCI_MSI
make localyesconfig

With X86_IO_APIC:
mcgrof@ergon ~/linux-next (git::master)$ du -b arch/x86/boot/bzImage
734608  arch/x86/boot/bzImage

Without X86_IO_APIC:
mcgrof@ergon ~/linux-next (git::master)$ du -b arch/x86/boot/bzImage
722544  arch/x86/boot/bzImage
