    x86/vlapic: allow setting APIC_SPIV_FOCUS_DISABLED in x2APIC mode
    
    Current code unconditionally prevents setting APIC_SPIV_FOCUS_DISABLED
    regardless of the processor model, which is not correct according to
    the specification.
    
    This issue was discovered while trying to boot a pvshim with x2APIC
    enabled.
    
    Always allow setting APIC_SPIV_FOCUS_DISABLED: the local APIC
    provided to guests is emulated by Xen, and as such doesn't depend on
    the features found on the hardware processor. Note for example that
    Xen offers x2APIC support to guests even when the underlying hardware
    doesn't have such feature.
