Detect whether x2APIC on VMWare is usable without interrupt

Description

Detect whether x2APIC on VMWare is usable without interrupt
redirection support. Older versions of the hypervisor mis-interpret
the cpuid format in ioapic registers when x2APIC is turned on, but IR
is not used by the guest OS.
