Subject: [PATCH] x86, Allow x2apic without IR on VMware platform.
Please consider this patch to allow x2apic without IR support when
running on VMware platform. Tested on top of 3.8-rc3.
Thanks,

Allow x2apic without IR on VMware platform.
From: Alok N Kataria <akataria@...are.com>
This patch updates x2apic initializaition code to allow x2apic on VMware
platform even without interrupt remapping support.
The hypervisor_x2apic_available hook was added in x2apic initialization code
and used by KVM and XEN, before this.
I have also cleaned up that code to export this hook through the
hypervisor_x86 structure.
Compile tested for KVM and XEN configs, this patch doesn't have any functional
effect on those two platforms.
On VMware platform, verified that x2apic is used in physical mode on products that
support this.
