We are updating the spec with more clarifications. But in short,
intr-remapping needs to be enabled prior to enabling x2apic in the CPU.

physical mode might work for < 255 id's for some. But it is HW
implementation specific and might not work from generation to generation.
chipsets or cpu's may drop the interrupts if cpu and chipset are
in different modes (one in legacy mode and another in extended).

So Intel is recommending to enable Intr-remapping before enabling x2apic.

thanks,
suresh
