This patch enables directed EOI on latest processor. With this, the
broadcast of EOI would be suppressed upon LAPIC EOI, so VMM is
required to perform a directed EOI to the IOxAPIC generating the
interrupt by writting to its EOI register.(Pls. refer SDM 3A 10.5.5)

This is useful for ioapic_ack_old to avoid the spurious interrupt
storm, which is the reason why ioapic_ack_new is used.
