The use of this varable was only sensible when the choice for local APIC
mode was between enabled or disabled.  Now that x2apic is about, it is
wrong, and causes a protection fault in certain cases when trying to tear
down x2apic mode.

The only place where its use is relevent in the code is in
disable_local_APIC which is very out of date.  It has now been updated
to be in line with the MultiProcessor Spec, as well as being able
to successfully shut down from x2apic mode without the possibility of
throwing a protection fault (which leads to a general protection fault).
