Let's do

	struct msr m;

	if (msr_read(MSR_IA32_APICBASE, &m))
		return false;

	return m.l & X2APIC_ENABLE;

so that we do the safe MSR access too. Who knows where this code gets
executed in the future.

... and then there's

#define x2apic_supported()      (cpu_has_x2apic)

which does the cpufeature test.

Can we agree on one interface only and simplify this a bit more?
