We merged apic_ops into struct apic a while ago.

so even for system with x2apic preenabled by BIOS, x2apic_cluster/phys is set to apic until smp_pare_cpus()::default_setup_apic_routing() after enable_IR_x2apic.

that means the boot cpu x2apic is accessed via memmap instead msr based way at that point.

not sure if the Boot apic id is bigger than 255. read_apic() for apic id could be wrong. ( in early_acpi_boot_init, acpi_boot_init, init_apic_mappings)

looks like we need to re-read boot_cpu_physical_apicid
or we could assign x2apic_cluster/phys in check_x2apic(), and later if intr_remapping can not be enabed, we can revert back to phys_flat or flat?

Thanks
