[PATCH] fix target_cpus() for summit subarch

[john stultz]

I've been hunting down a bug affecting IBM x440/x445 systems where the
floppy driver would get spurious interrupts and would not initialize
properly. 

After digging James Cleverdon and Bill Irwin pointed out that
target_cpus() is routing the interrupts to the clustered apic broadcast
mask using destFixed deliver mode. This was causing multiple interrupts
to show up, breaking the floppy init code. 

This fix simply changes the delivery mode to dest_LowestPrio and
initially routes interrupts to the first cpu to resolve this issue.

Please consider for inclusion into your tree.

thanks
