yes.

 config X86_X2APIC
        bool "Support x2apic"
-       depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_64 && INTR_REMAP
+       depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_64 && IRQ_REMAP
        ---help---
          This enables x2apic support on CPUs that have this feature.


renaming INTR_REMAP IRQ_REMAP cause that.

Attached patch should fix the problem.
