x86, x2apic: Fallback to xapic when BIOS doesn't setup interrupt-remapping
On some of the recent Intel SNB platforms, by default bios is pre-enabling x2apic mode in the cpu with out setting up interrupt-remapping. This case was resulting in the kernel to panic as the cpu is already in x2apic mode but the OS was not able to enable interrupt-remapping (which is a pre-req for using x2apic capability). On these platforms all the apic-ids are < 255 and the kernel can fallback to xapic mode if the bios has not enabled interrupt-remapping (which is mostly the case if the bios has not exported interrupt-remapping tables to the OS).
