Is it necessary to test x2apic_mode here?  It looks like
MSI_ADDR_EXT_DEST_ID() gives you everything above the low 8
bits of the APIC ID.  If those bits are always zero except in
x2apic_mode, we might not need the test.

Does the ia64 dmar_msi_set_affinity() need the same fix?

Why do we have both x2apic_enabled() and x2apic_mode?  They
seem sort of redundant.  (Not related to this patch, of course.)
