Using 'the previous patch' in changelog is OK until it comes to
backporting as the order can change. I'd suggest to spell out "KVM: X86:
Use APIC_DEST_* macros properly" explicitly.

I must admit this seriously harm the readability of the code for
me. Just look at the 

 if (dest_mode == false)

line without a context and try to say what's being checked. I can't.

I see to solutions:
1) Adhere to the APIC_DEST_PHYSICAL/APIC_DEST_LOGICAL (basically - just
check against "dest_mode == APIC_DEST_LOGICAL" in the else branch)
2) Rename the dest_mode parameter to 'dest_mode_is_phys' or something
like that.
