From @jhb in D36838: the assertion about MAXCPU being <= MAX_APIC_ID is no longer relevant with x2APIC and can be removed I think. I'm not sure if we support x2APIC on i386, so maybe the assertion has to stay for i386 still

No, MAX_APIC_ID is also relevant for amd64, as it's used by madt_parse_cpu(), it needs to be bumped to twice the value of MAXCPU I think.

I guess you could have a i386 system with APIC IDs > 0x200, but it's unlikely such system doesn't support amd64.

i386 also uses x2APIC when supported by hardware and not disabled by BIOS.
