KVM would like to provide x2APIC interface to a guest without emulating
interrupt remapping device. The reason KVM prefers guest to use x2APIC
is that x2APIC interface is better virtualizable and provides better
performance than mmio xAPIC interface:
    
- msr exits are faster than mmio (no page table walk, emulation)
- no need to read back ICR to look at the busy bit
- one 64 bit ICR write instead of two 32 bit writes
- shared code with the Hyper-V paravirt interface
    
Included patch changes x2APIC enabling logic to enable it even if IR
initialization failed, but kernel runs under KVM and no apic id is
greater than 255 (if there is one spec requires BIOS to move to x2apic
mode before starting an OS).

This version does not rely on x2apic_preenabled to determine max APIC id
since this logic will break after kexec. Use max_physical_apicid instead.
Also allow to override apic ops after call to enable_IR_x2apic() since
we may decide to use physical mode instead of cluster.
