Revert "intel_iommu: Fix irqchip / X2APIC configuration checks"

Browse Source 
It's true that when vcpus<=255 we don't require the length of 32bit APIC
IDs.  However here since we already have EIM=ON it means the hypervisor
will declare the VM as x2apic supported (e.g. VT-d ECAP register will have
EIM bit 4 set), so the guest should assume the APIC IDs are 32bits width
even if vcpus<=255.  In short, commit 77250171bd breaks any simple cmdline
that wants to boot a VM with >=9 but <=255 vcpus with:

  -device intel-iommu,intremap=on

For anyone who does not want to enable x2apic, we can use eim=off in the
intel-iommu parameters to skip enabling KVM x2apic.

This partly reverts commit 77250171bd, while
keeping the valid bit on checking split irqchip, but revert the other change.

One thing to mention is that this patch may break migration compatibility
of such VM, however that's probably the best thing we can do, because the
old behavior was simply wrong and not working for >8 vcpus.  For <=8 vcpus,
there could be a light guest ABI change (by enabling KVM x2apic after this
patch), but logically it shouldn't affect the migration from working.

Also, this is not the 1st commit to change x2apic behavior.  Igor provided
a full history of how this evolved for the past few years:

We may want to have this for stable too (mostly for 7.1.0 only).  Adding a
fixes tag.
