smp: Use logical destination not physical apic id
Since modern x86 cpus only support 4 bits of destination field
in ICR, we could only address up to 16 processors, assuming
their physical APIC ID was < 0x10. Some processors eg AMD fam15h
have physical apic ids starting at 0x10 but only support 4 bits.
So these lapics are unaddressable using physical destination mode.
Therefore, we switch to using logical destinations for IPIs which
gives us 8 bits of unique mask for addressing up to 8 groups of processors.
INIT and STARTUP is not changed here.
