Let's do

struct msr m;

if (msr_read(MSR_IA32_APICBASE, &m))
return false;

return m.l & X2APIC_ENABLE;

so that we do the safe MSR access too. Who knows where this code gets
executed in the future.

... and then there's

#define x2apic_supported() (cpu_has_x2apic)

which does the cpufeature test.

Can we agree on one interface only and simplify this a bit more?

Sent from a fat crate under my desk. Formatting is fine.
