I am not very familiar with cpu registers, not sure if we can adjust
below code flow as:

	/* If APIC is integrated, check local APIC only */
	if (lapic_is_integrated() && !boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_APIC)) {
		disable_apic = 1;
		pr_info("APIC disabled by BIOS\n");
		return APIC_PIC;
	}

	/* If APIC is on a separate chip, check if smp_found_config is found*/
	if (!lapic_is_integrated() && !smp_found_config) {
		disable_apic = 1;
		return APIC_PIC;
	}
	~~~~ Now, I haven't think of why smp_found_config has to be
             checked here.

In this way, we don't need the CONFIG_X86_64 checking since it's
contained in lapic_is_integrated() already. And the checking is obvious
for understanding. Just not very sure if the checking is adequate.

Just my personal opinion.
