Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/15] x86/acrn: Report X2APIC for ACRN guest

After lapic is switched from xapic to x2apic mode, it can use the APIC
MSR register to access local apic register in ACRN guest. This will
help to remove some traps of lapic access in ACRN guest.
Report the X2APIC so that the ACRN guest can be switched to x2apic mode.
