The spec says "When RH is 1 and the physical destination mode is used
[DM=0], the Destination ID field must not be set to 0xFF; it must point
to a processor that is present and enabled to receive the interrupt."

As far as I understand, there is no "lowest prio" in the setup RH=1/DM=0.

I've cc'ed Kevin who just worked on the APIC model. Maybe he can provide
some authoritative answer or dig it up @Intel.
