Following kernel panic is observed when doing kdump/kexec on
qemu-kvm VMs that uses MPTABLE, not ACPI MADT, and supports x2apic:

It turns out MPTABLE doesn't play well with pre-enabled x2apic mode,
this series extend the apic driver interface and let MPTABLE parse
probe the driver properly.

This can be easily reproduced with qemu-kvm, use -no-acpi and enable
x2apic, so x2apic with MPTABLE will be in use, then trigger kdump/kexec.

Kairui Song (2):
  x86, apic: add a more generic early_probe
  x86/mpparse, kexec: probe apic driver early for x2apic
