Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] x86/apic: Fix x2apic enablement without interrupt remapping

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@...zon.co.uk>

Currently, Linux as a hypervisor guest will enable x2apic only if there
are no CPUs present at boot time with an APIC ID above 255.

Hotplugging a CPU later with a higher APIC ID would result in a CPU
which cannot be targeted by external interrupts.

Add a filter in x2apic_apic_id_valid() which can be used to prevent
such CPUs from coming online, and allow x2apic to be enabled even if
they are present at boot time.

Fixes: ce69a784504 ("x86/apic: Enable x2APIC without interrupt remapping under KVM")
