Summary
We actually do not know is it safe or not to flush cache for random
BAR/register page existing in the system.  It is well-known that for
instance LAPICs cannot tolerate cache flush.  As report indicates,
there are more such devices.

This issue typically affects AMD machines which do not report self-snoop,
causing real CLFLUSH invocation on the mapped pages.  Intels do self-snoop,
so this change should be nop for them, and unsafe devices, if any, are
already ignored.

Also:

apic: initialize lapic_paddr statically

The default value for LAPIC registers page physical address
is usually right. Having this value available early makes
pmap_force_invalidate_cache_range(), used on non-self-snoop machines,
avoid flushing LAPIC range for early calls.
