[PATCH] apic: remove marking of non-present physids in phys_cpu_present_map
Marking invalid APIC ID's in phys_cpu_present_map was intended to generate "collisions" between APIC ID's in order to assist the ordinary bounds checking against the broadcast physical APIC ID. However, this is bounds checked everywhere it's necessary, and it's also not even possible to properly bounds-check everywhere. So this patch removes that marking of non-present physical APIC ID's.
