x86: APIC: Make apic_verbosity unsigned

Maciej W. Rozycki · Ingo Molnar · commit baa1318841d4 · 2008-07-18T14:27:43.000+02:00
As a microoptimisation, make apic_verbosity unsigned.  This will make
apic_printk(APIC_QUIET, ...) expand into just printk(...) with the
surrounding condition and a reference to apic_verbosity removed.
