Presently, init/boot time interrupt delivery mode is enumerated only for ACPI enabled systems by parsing MADT table or for older systems by parsing MP table. But for OF based x86 systems, it is assumed & hardcoded to legacy PIC mode. This is a bug for platforms which are OF based but do not use 8259 compliant legacy PIC interrupt controller. Such platforms can not even boot because of this bug/hardcoding. Fix this bug by adding support for configuration of init time interrupt delivery mode for x86 OF based systems by introducing a new optional boolean property 'intel,virtual-wire-mode' for interrupt-controller node of local APIC. This property emulates IMCRP Bit 7 of MP feature info byte 2 of MP floating pointer structure [1]. Defaults to legacy PIC mode if absent. Configures it to virtual wire compatibility mode if present.
