Why do you enable lapic all the time?
There are 486s that don't have lapic and there are many P5+ systems
that lapic is embedded in the processors but the system do not have
ioapics.

I just thought that we can just ignore MPBIOS and use only legacy
interrupt infrastructure.

Maybe I'm understanding you wrong.
