    Disable x2APIC for SandyBridge laptops with Samsung BIOS
    
    From the PR:
    Almost always, my Samsung RF511 laptop could not boot with
    x2APIC enabled in the kernel. It froze during SMP initialization,
    shortly after "ACPI APIC Table: <SECCSD LH43STAR>" was printed
    to the console. When the kernel is instructed not to use x2APIC,
    the system boots correctly.
