Hi Yinghai,

Sorry I do not know the document change but I also do not find the
words/description/explanation that x2APIC physical mode also need interrupt
remapping support when CPU < 256. Of course, X2APIC cluster mode must
has interrupt remapping support.

I have tested many machines, both old and most recent machines and from
desktop to server, x2APIC physical mode works without interrupt
remapping when CPU < 256.

In theory and real test, I do not find any issue about the patch.

In order to make sure the patch without involving unexpected issues beyond
I can understand, I will confirm with our expert about it.

so please pend the patch going to mainline. If the patch can move on, I
think I will also provide other patch changing, like direct EOI.

Thanks
-Youquan
