x86, irq, ACPI: Introduce a mutex to protect IOAPIC operations from hotplug
We are going to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug, so introduce a mutex to protect IOAPIC data structures from IOAPIC hotplug. We choose to serialize in ACPI instead of in the IOAPIC core because: 1) currently we only plan to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug 2) it's much more cleaner and easier 3) It does't affect IOAPIC discovered by devicetree, SFI and mpparse.
