[PATCH v3] x86/ACPI: Ignore CPUs that are not online capable for x2apic, entries as well

[James Puthukattukaran]

Extending commit aa06e20f1be6 ("x86/ACPI: Don't add CPUs that are not
online capable") to include acpi_parse_x2apic as well. There is a check
for invalid apicid; however, there are BIOS FW with madt version >= 5
support that do not bother setting apic id to an invalid value since they
assume the OS will check the enabled and online capable flags.

v2 : use 'enabled' local variable. Also fix checkpatch.pl catches
v3 : updates as per Rafael's comments

Adding others that I missed on my first email.

This doesn't look like an extension to some existing commit but like a separate
fix.

Which BIOSes are those?

Also, I'm no BIOS guy but I don't see you checking MADT version anywhere?

Yah, I'd like for Rafael to decide what to do here...

I've just sent my comments to the patch, but you have not been CCed, sorry.

IMO the MADT version should be checked too and I would like to have at
least one example of a platform affected by this problem in the
changelog.

It would be good to give at least one example of a platform where this happens.

I would add a MADT version check to this, because
ACPI_MADT_ONLINE_CAPABLE may be set by mistake in an older BIOS too.
