x86, apic: Don't waste a vector to improve vector spread

Browse Source 
We want to use a vector-assignment sequence that avoids stumbling onto
0x80 earlier in the sequence, in order to improve the spread of
vectors across priority levels on machines with a small number of
interrupt sources.  Right now, this is done by simply making the first
vector (0x31 or 0x41) completely unusable.  This is unnecessary; all
we need is to start assignment at a +1 offset, we don't actually need
to prohibit the usage of this vector once we have wrapped around.
