[patch 5/5] x86: skip cpus with apic-ids >= 255 in !x2apic_mode

[Suresh Siddha]

From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@xxxxxxxxx>

If the x2apic mode is disabled for reasons like interrupt-remapping
not available etc, then we need to skip the logical cpu bringup of
apic-id's >= 255. Otherwise as the platform is in xapic mode, init/startup
IPI's will consider only the low 8-bits and there is a possibility of
re-sending init/startup IPI's to the logical cpu that is already online.

This will avoid potential reboots/unpredictable behavior etc.
