x86: print APIC data a little later during boot

To view IOAPIC data you could boot with "apic=debug".

When booting in such a way then the kernel will dump the
IO-APIC's registers, for example:

Delaying the call to print_ICs() gives better results:

Notice that the entries beyond interrupt input signal 0x0f also
get populated and arent just the hw-initialization default of
all zeroes.
