[PATCH 3/3] tools/hvmloader: Skip writing MP tables if any CPU has an APIC ID >= 255

[Alejandro Vallejo <alejandro.vallejo@xxxxxxxxx>]

MP Tables have no means of representing APIC IDs wider than 255. At the
moment the effect is wrapping around which would give a corrupted table
with duplicate APIC IDs (some of them possibly the broadcast 255).

Skip writing it altogether. While it would be possible to restrict the
APs shown it's just not worth the work. Any OS that needs such
adjustments should not have been booted with that many vCPUs to begin
with.
