There's no IO-APIC in the lspci output, but that's because it's integrated as part of 
the i810 chipset; it's probably hidden to keep people from tinkering with the settings 
-- there's not much one can do to modify an interrupt controller that wouldn't end 
badly 8=;-) (according to Intel's docs, the IO-APIC's carried somewhere on the 82801AA 
I/O Controller Hub, and I quote:)

>From Intel's 82801AA I/O Controller Hub Datasheet

Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) 

In addition to the standard ISA compatible interrupt controller (PIC) described in the 
previous section, the ICH incorporates the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller 
(APIC). While the standard interrupt controller is intended for use in a uni-processor 
system, APIC can be used in either a uni-processor or multi-processor system.

Hope this clears up some confusion.

Correct. Linux always enables the APIC, but it needs some bios tables
for the IO APIC. And the IO APIC is not present on all uniprocessor
motherboards.

Figure out which ICH is used (lspci?), then check Intel's documentation.

But even if an io apic is present, Linux can only use it if a MP table
is present. Afaik ACPI tables are not yet supported on i386, but ia64
already supports detecting the IO APIC's based on ACPI tables.
