dts: x86: configure different IO APIC delivery modes for various devices



For HPET devices, configure it with fixed delivery mode because HPET
timer interrupt is needed to fuel the scheduler for all CPUS.

For all other type of devices, like UART, I2C, GPIO, Ethernet, etc.
configure them as lowest priority delivery mode, in which IO APIC
delivers the interrupt to the processor core that is executing at the
lowest priority among all the processors listed in the specified
destination. In this case, the device drivers can avoid the trouble of
handling repeated interrupts delivered to all CPUS.
