apic_version[] array is changed from int to u8 - APIC version values as of year 2015 are no larger than 0x1f on all known CPUs.
A bit of code added to ensure that the statement apic_version[apicid] = version; in generic_processor_info() is safe wrt bad values in both 'apicid' and 'version' variables. This reduces apic_version[] from 128 kbytes to 32.
