Dou Liyang b8d4055372 x86/acpi: Prevent X2APIC id 0xffffffff from being accounted
commit 10daf10ab1 upstream.

RongQing reported that there are some X2APIC id 0xffffffff in his machine's
ACPI MADT table, which makes the number of possible CPU inaccurate.

The reason is that the ACPI X2APIC parser has no sanity check for APIC ID
0xffffffff, which is an invalid id in all APIC types. See "Intel® 64
Architecture x2APIC Specification", Chapter 2.4.1.

Add a sanity check to acpi_parse_x2apic() which ignores the invalid id.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
