When kernel doesn't support X2APIC but BIOS has enabled X2APIC, system
may panic or hang without useful messages. On the other hand, it's
hard to dynamically disable X2APIC when CONFIG_X86_X2APIC is disabled.
So panic with a clear message in such a case.
System panics as below when X2APIC is disabled and interrupt remapping
is enabled:
