This function assigns a bunch of things to struct apic_chip_data - not only
vector.
If we had to be precise perhaps update_vector_chip_data() or so. Or
chip_data_update_for_vector(). To better describe what the function does.

Looks like this file would need cleaning up wrt naming but that's not that
important at the moment I'd say. There are other functions which don't have
the apic_ prefix so it is kinda arbitrary.
