Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/hyperv: Allow 15-bit APIC IDs for VTL platforms

The current method for signaling the compatibility of a Hyper-V host
with MSIs featuring 15-bit APIC IDs relies on a synthetic cpuid leaf.
However, for higher VTLs, this leaf is not reported, due to the absence
of an IO-APIC.

As an alternative, assume that when running at a high VTL, the host
supports 15-bit APIC IDs. This assumption is safe, as Hyper-V does not
employ any architectural MSIs at higher VTLs

This unblocks startup of VTL2 environments with more than 256 CPUs.
