Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen: HVM X2APIC support

This patch is similiar to Gleb Natapov's patch for KVM, which enable the
hypervisor to emulate x2apic feature for the guest. By this way, the emulation
of lapic would be simpler with x2apic interface(MSR), and faster.

Why do you want to disable x2apic
if (xen_have_vector_callback && !xen_feature(XENFEAT_hvm_pirqs))?
In this case some emulated devices are still used, like the serial, and
need interrupt delivery using an apic. Same is true for all the
pci devices assigned to the VM.
The only case in which the apic is basically left unused is
(xen_feature(XENFEAT_hvm_pirqs) && xen_have_vector_callback).
