When launching a VM with x2APIC and specify more than 255 vCPUs,
the guest kernel can disable x2APIC (e.g. specify nox2apic kernel option).
The VM fallbacks to xAPIC mode, and disable the vCPU ID 255.
In this case, APICV should be disabled for the vCPU ID 255.
Therefore, the APICV mode consisency check is no longer valid.
