[PATCH v2 02/10] x86/apic: fix panic message when x2APIC is not supported

[Mateusz Jończyk]

The correct course of action is to enable x2APIC support in the kernel,
not to disable it in the BIOS (which may be impossible).
x2APIC has performance and functionality benefits, so it is best to use
it if it is available on the platform.
