Subject: [RFC PATCH 25/67] KVM: x86: Allow host-initiated WRMSR to set X2APIC regardless of CPUID

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

Let userspace, or in the case of TDX, KVM itself, enable X2APIC even if
X2APIC is not reported as supported in the guest's CPU model.  KVM
generally does not force specific ordering between ioctls(), e.g. this
forces userspace to configure CPUID before MSRs.  And for TDX, vCPUs
will always run with X2APIC enabled, e.g. KVM will want/need to enable
X2APIC from time zero.
