That makes sense, I suppose, but I couldn't find it documented. I wanted
to disable it only so that I could reenable it just to ensure that it
was enabled. I am trying to figure out a situation where it appears that
APIC mode is being used but no high IRQs are being used.

If you have a dual core CPU I don't think you can disable it. I can't
see any situation where you would want to turn this off anyway..
