It is based on CPUID.
The low-level ACRN hypervisor can return the different output of CPUID 
when several linux guests executes the CPUID instruction. Then it can 
control whether x2apic is supported in one linux guest.

So we will leverage the X86_FEATURE_X2APIC bit from CPUID to indicate 
whether the x2apic is supported in linux guest when ACRN hypervisor is 
detected.
Is this fine to you?
