Yep, physid page can't hold more entries...

This brings the inventible question of what to do when a VM has more
that 512 vCPUs...

With AVIC, since it is xapic, it would be easy - xapic supports up to
254 CPUs.

But with x2apic, there is no such restriction on max 512 CPUs,
thus it is legal to create a VM with x2apic and more that 512 CPUs,
and x2AVIC won't work well in this case.

I guess AVIC_IPI_FAILURE_INVALID_TARGET, has to be extened to support those
cases, even with loss of performance, or we need to inhibit x2AVIC.
