    amd64: prevent KCSan false positives on LAPIC mapping
    
    For configurations without x2APIC support (guests, older hardware), the global
    LAPIC MMIO mapping will trigger false-positive KCSan reports as it will appear
    that multiple CPUs are concurrently reading and writing the same address.
    This isn't actually true, as the underlying physical access will be performed
    on the local CPU's APIC. Additionally, because LAPIC access can happen during
    event timer configuration, the resulting KCSan printf can produce a panic due
    to attempted recursion on event timer resources.
    
    Add a __nosanitizethread preprocessor define to prevent the compiler from
    inserting TSan hooks, and apply it to the x86 LAPIC accessors.
