x86, apic: use physical mode for IBM summit platforms
Chris McDermott from IBM confirmed that hurricane chipset in IBM summit platforms doesn't support logical flat mode. Irrespective of the other things like apic_id's, total number of logical cpu's, Linux kernel should default to physical mode for this system. The 32-bit kernel does so using the OEM checks for the IBM summit platform. Add a similar OEM platform check for the 64bit kernel too. Otherwise the linux kernel boot can hang on this platform under certain bios/platform settings.
