    kernel - Fix KVM implosion by enabling the IOAPIC
    
    * We were disabling the IOAPIC universally when running under a VM,
      because older VMs sometimes broke when it was enabled.
    
      However, this can actually implode the virtual machine by causing
      interrupt routing to go haywire.
    
      Add a case statement and always enable the IOAPIC on bare hardware
      and KVM guests.
    
    * Change the default to also enable the IOAPIC on all other VMs.
      Cases can be added for specific disablement if necessary.
    
    * Fixes Google Cloud Environment booting.
