Current code to read apic id in x2apic mode has some hacks:

if (apic_x2apic_mode(apic))
       val = kvm_apic_id(apic);
else
       val = kvm_apic_id(apic) << 24;

static inline int kvm_apic_id(struct kvm_lapic *apic)
{
        return (kvm_apic_get_reg(apic, APIC_ID) >> 24) & 0xff;
}

According SPEC, in x2apic mode, the whole id reg is used, but in KVM, it only use the highest eight bits.
