In start_kernel(), firstly, it works on the default interrupy mode, then switch to the final mode. Normally, Booting with BIOS reset is OK.
But, At dump-capture kernel, it boot up without BIOS reset, default mode may not be compatible with the actual registers, that causes the delivery interrupt to fail.
Try to set up the final mode as soon as possible. according to the parts which split from that initialization:
1) Set up the APIC/IOAPIC (including testing whether the timer interrupt works)
2) Calibrate TSC
3) Set up the local APIC timer
-- From Thomas Gleixner
Initializing the mode should be earlier than calibrating TSC as soon as possible and needs testing whether the timer interrupt works at the same time.
Add apic_interrupt_mode_init() just behind timers init, which meet the above conditions.
