[PATCH] x86: Let x2APIC support depend on interrupt remapping or guest support

From: Jan Kiszka
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 11:58:33 EST


We are able to use x2APIC mode in the absence of interrupt remapping on
certain hypervisors. So it if fine to disable IRQ_REMAP without having
to give up x2APIC support.

This enables x2apic support on CPUs that have this feature.
