It's already on today. It just isn't *true* because QEMU never called
kvm_enable_x2apic().

So what I care about (in case ∃ APIC IDs >= 255) is two things:

 1. Qemu needs to call kvm_enable_x2apic().
 2. If that *fails* qemu needs to *stop* advertising X2APIC and ext-dest-id.


That last patch snippet in pc_machine_done() should suffice to achieve
that, I think. Because if kvm_enable_x2apic() fails and qemu has been
asked for that many CPUs, it aborts completely. Which seems right.
