    KVM: SVM: Allow AVIC support on system w/ physical APIC ID > 255 · 4a204f78

    Expand KVM's mask for the AVIC host physical ID to the full 12 bits defined
    by the architecture.  The number of bits consumed by hardware is model
    specific, e.g. early CPUs ignored bits 11:8, but there is no way for KVM
    to enumerate the "true" size.  So, KVM must allow using all bits, else it
    risks rejecting completely legal x2APIC IDs on newer CPUs.
    
    This means KVM relies on hardware to not assign x2APIC IDs that exceed the
    "true" width of the field, but presumably hardware is smart enough to tie
    the width to the max x2APIC ID.  KVM also relies on hardware to support at
    least 8 bits, as the legacy xAPIC ID is writable by software.  But, those
    assumptions are unavoidable due to the lack of any way to enumerate the
    "true" width.
