Perhaps I should have expressed that a bit more clearly: you could, if
mad, build a machine with I/O APICs and some other mechanism for
delivering the interrupts to CPUs. In practice, I doubt anyone ever
has, or ever would.
The only actual exception I know of is Xen's replacement of the physical
local APIC with a paravirtualized interrupt interface.
