Commit Message

Both Intel and AMD manuals agree that on x2APIC mode, the APIC LDR and ID
registers are derivable from each other through a fixed formula.

Xen uses that formula, but applies it to vCPU IDs (which are sequential)
rather than x2APIC IDs (which are not, at the moment). As I understand it,
this is an attempt to tightly pack vCPUs into clusters so each cluster has
16 vCPUs rather than 8, but this is a spec violation.

This patch fixes the implementation so we follow the x2APIC spec for new
VMs, while preserving the behaviour (buggy or fixed) for migrated-in VMs.

While touching that area, remove the existing printk statement in
vlapic_load_fixup() (as the checks it performed didn't make sense in x2APIC
mode and wouldn't affect the outcome) and put another printk as an else
branch so we get warnings trying to load nonsensical LDR values we don't
know about.

v5:

[Andrew]
  * Missing full stop in commit message
  * Specifically mention spec violation in the commit message
  * Use struct vcpu* directly rather than through vlapic_vcpu()
  * Braces in conditionals of lapic_load_fixup()

[Jan]
  * Restored information about id!=0 + ldr==1 being inconsistent.
    in the context of older fixup

While no R-by from Andrew was in the mailing list, it was in the xenbits
patch, of which this is a direct copy except for minor delta suggested
by Jan in lapic_load_fixup()

Sadly the doubly "fix" is still there in that comment.
