    x86/Kconfig: add option for default x2APIC destination mode
    
    Allow setting the default x2APIC destination mode from Kconfig to
    Physical.
    
    Note the default destination mode is still Logical (Cluster) mode.

+         Use x2APIC Physical Destination mode by default when available.
+
+         When using this mode APICs are addressed using the Physical
+         Destination mode, which allows using all dynamic vectors on each
+         CPU independently.
+
+         Physical Destination has the benefit of having more vectors available
+         for external interrupts, but it also makes the delivery of multi
+         destination inter processor interrupts (IPIs) slightly slower than
+         Logical Destination mode.
+
+         The mode when this option is not selected is Logical Destination.
+
+         If unsure, say N.
