Thread-topic:	[Xen-devel] [Patch] Remove a panic condition in enabling x2APIC

Currently Xen triggers a panic if user disables VT-d by command line while not 
disable x2APIC. This requires users to specify both "iommu=0" and "x2apic=0" to 
disable VT-d if the platform supports x2APIC. It's not user friendly. This 
patch removes the panic condition. That's to say, don't require user to specify 
"x2apic=0" when specify "iommu=0". As long as VT-d is not enabled (disabled in 
BIOS or in command line), x2APIC won't be enabled naturally (x2APIC depends on 
VT-d Interrupt remapping).
