The machine(IBM x3650 M2, Nehalem) does not seem to support x2apic.
I have enabled the following in my config;
[root@...1 linux-tip]# grep X2APIC .config
CONFIG_X86_X2APIC=y
[root@...1 linux-tip]#
And booted the kernel with "apic=verbose" command.
[root@...1 linux-tip]# dmesg | grep -i x2apic
[root@...1 linux-tip]#
Does not give anything. I safely assumed that x2apic is not
supported. Is there something to do in the bios to enable this?

I need to try this, i have libvirt setup. Let me dig how to enable this
through xml file.
