x86/ioapic: Add register level checks to detect bogus io-apic entries
With the recent changes to clear_IO_APIC_pin() which tries to clear remoteIRR bit explicitly, some of the users started to see "Unable to reset IRR for apic .." messages. Close look shows that these are related to bogus IO-APIC entries which return's all 1's for their io-apic registers. And the above mentioned error messages are benign. But kernel should have ignored such io-apic's in the first place. Check if register 0, 1, 2 of the listed io-apic are all 1's and ignore such io-apic.
