Yes, irq->dest_id is defined as u32, but by looking the current KVM
code, seems desst_id is used as an u8 variable, even in x2apic mode
the dest_id will not beyond 255 (except for broadcast dest in in x2apic
mode). Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks a lot!

Oh, right, the logical map works only when the destination mode of all
the vCPUs are the same.

cid is gotten from bit 16 ..31 of the ldr (in apic_logical_id()), and
in x2apic mode, ldr is constructed in kvm_apic_set_x2apic_id() as
below:

u32 ldr = ((id >> 4) << 16) | (1 << (id & 0xf));

So in fact, cid is (id >> 4), I cannot think of why cid can beyond 15.
Do I miss something here? Thanks!

Thanks,
