    x86: Add stub for Extended Destination ID support
    
    Without an IOMMU, the APIC standard only allows 8 bits of Destination
    ID for MSI messages, limiting us to 256 CPUs.  While IOMMUs can allow
    for more than 256 CPUs to be supported, they are not necessarily
    desirable in virtualized environments.
    
    The Extended Destination ID standard authored by David Woodhouse uses
    7 "Reserved" bits for the high bits of a 15-bit Extended Destination
    ID in order to address this: http://david.woodhou.se/ExtDestId.pdf
    
    Add a loader tunable machdep.apic_ext_dest_id to control the use of
    this feature; the default value (-1) means "autodetect" while 0 and
    1 mean disabled and enabled respectively.
    
    Code to detect host support in Xen, Hyper-V, KVM, and Bhyve will come
    in future commits, as will the code to use this setting in msi_map and
    ioapic_program_intpin.
    
    Tested on:      EC2 r8i.96xlarge
    MFC after:      3 weeks
