Revert "[PATCH] i386: add idle notifier"

This reverts commit 2ff2d3d74705d34ab71b21f54634fcf50d57bdd5.

Uwe Bugla reports that he cannot mount a floppy drive any more, and Jiri
Slaby bisected it down to this commit.

Benjamin LaHaise also points out that this is a big hot-path, and that
interrupt delivery while idle is very common and should not go through
all these expensive gyrations.

Fix up conflicts in arch/i386/kernel/apic.c and arch/i386/kernel/irq.c
due to other unrelated irq changes.
