Following kernel panic is observed when doing kdump/kexec on
virtual machines that uses MPTABLE, not ACPI MADT, and supports x2apic:
Intel MultiProcessor Specification v1.4

MPTABLE: Product ID: 0.1

The panic happens within following init code:
setup_arch()
....
check_x2apic() <-- x2apic is enabled by first kernel before kexec,
this set x2apic_mode = 1, make sure later probes
will recognize pre-enabled x2apic.
....
acpi_boot_init(); <-- If ACPI MADT is in use, this will switch apic driver
to x2apic, but it will do nothing with MPTABLE.
x86_dtb_init();
get_smp_config();
default_get_smp_config(); <-- MPTABLE setup.
check_physptr();
smp_read_mpc();
register_lapic_address(); <-- * panic here *
init_apic_mappings();
....
The problem here is MPTABLE setup calls register_lapic_address(), which
is still using apic_flat driver, and access the apic MMIO interface. But
the address is never mapped for pre-enabled x2apic, since commit
0450193bffed6 ("x86, x2apic: Don't map lapic addr for preenabled x2apic systems"),
then it panics.
Simply map it won't work either, in x2apic mode the MMIO interface is
not usable (Intel SDM Volume 3A 10.12.2), later setups will still fail with
other errors. So it needs do a proper apic driver probe and switch to
x2apic driver to perform MSR operation instead.
Such issue is currently only seen with kdump/kexec, kernel enabled the
x2apic in first kernel and kept it enabled to 2nd kernel.
This can be easily reproduced with qemu-kvm, use -no-acpi and enable
x2apic, so x2apic with MPTABLE will be in use, then trigger kdump/kexec.
