 I am not quite sure what your method means. It sounds like that you have 
 disabled APIC in
 either BIOS or in the kernel. If this is the case, you do not have to 
 rebuild the kernel
 even the world. You can simply do this by adding following line into 
 /boot/loader.conf:
 
 # cat /boot/loader.conf
 hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
 
 This works for 5.4-RC3.
