As userspace APIC now supports x2APIC, intel interrupt remapping

Given commit 20ca47429e ('Revert "intel_iommu: Fix irqchip / X2APIC
configuration checks"'), won't we regress behaviour again  for the accel=kvm
case by dropping the kvm_enable_x2apic() call here?

Perhaps if we support userspace APIC with TCG the check just needs to be redone
to instead avoid always requiring kvm e.g.:

if (kvm_irqchip_in_kernel()) {
     error_setg(errp, "eim=on requires accel=kvm,kernel-irqchip=split"
                "(X2APIC_API, first shipped in v4.7)");
}

if (kvm_irqchip_is_split() && !kvm_enable_x2apic()) {
     error_setg(errp, "eim=on requires support on the KVM side"
                "(X2APIC_API, first shipped in v4.7)");
     return false;
}

Thank you for your review. I think the check for kvm_irqchip_in_kernel() is not correct, AFAIK, kvm_irqchip_is_split() == true also means kvm_irqchip_in_kernel() == true on x86. To check if kernel-irqchip = on, we need to do something like in x86_iommu_realize

bool irq_all_kernel = kvm_irqchip_in_kernel() && !kvm_irqchip_is_split();

The original check for !kvm_irqchip_is_split means emulated/userspace APIC. It's because to reach that check x86_iommu_ir_supported(...) == true and x86_iommu_ir_supported(...) == true is not supported when kernel-irqchip = on (there is a check for this in x86_iommu_realize)

So I think we need to change the check to

    if (s->intr_eim == ON_OFF_AUTO_ON && !s->buggy_eim) {
        if (kvm_irqchip_is_split() && !kvm_enable_x2apic()) {
            error_setg(errp, "eim=on requires support on the KVM side"
                             "(X2APIC_API, first shipped in v4.7)");
            return false;
        }
    }

Is it OK?

Thanks,
Quang Minh.
