Would this make more sense as a CPU flag or at least the KVM PV LAPIC?

We really ought to embed the LAPIC in the CPU objects.  Then it would
all make a bit more sense conceptionally.  But I definitely thing a CPU
feature flag makes the most sense here.

Then we can handle it via globals once we make CPU's qdev devices.
