Subject: [PATCH 3.16 164/366] x86/acpi: Prevent X2APIC id 0xffffffff from
 being accounted

3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dou Liyang <douly.fnst@...fujitsu.com>

commit 10daf10ab154e31237a8c07242be3063fb6a9bf4 upstream.

RongQing reported that there are some X2APIC id 0xffffffff in his machine's
ACPI MADT table, which makes the number of possible CPU inaccurate.

The reason is that the ACPI X2APIC parser has no sanity check for APIC ID
0xffffffff, which is an invalid id in all APIC types. See "Intel® 64
Architecture x2APIC Specification", Chapter 2.4.1.

Add a sanity check to acpi_parse_x2apic() which ignores the invalid id.
