This patch masks PIC and IOAPIC RTE's before x2APIC enabling, unmask
and restore them after x2APIC enabling. It also really enables
interrupt remapping before x2APIC enabling instead of just checking
interrupt remapping setting. This patch also handles all x2APIC
configuration including BIOS settings and command line
settings. Especially, it handles that BIOS hands over in x2APIC mode
(when there is apic id > 255). It checks if x2APIC is already enabled
by BIOS. If already enabled, it will disable interrupt remapping and
queued invalidation first, then enable them again.

x2APIC/VT-d: improve interrupt remapping and queued invalidation enabling and disabling
x2APIC depends on interrupt remapping, so interrupt remapping needs to
be enabled before x2APIC. Usually x2APIC is not enabled
(x2apic_enabled=0) when enable interrupt remapping, although x2APIC
will be enabled later. So it needs to pass a parameter to set
interrupt mode in intremap_enable, instead of checking
x2apic_enable. This patch adds a parameter "eim" to intremap_enable to
achieve it. Interrupt remapping and queued invalidation are already
enabled when enable x2apic, so it needn't to enable them again when
setup iommu. This patch checks if interrupt remapping and queued
invalidation are already enable or not, and won't enable them if
already enabled. It does the similar in disabling, that's to say don't
disable them if already disabled.

After getting a report of 3.2.3's xenmon crashing Xen (as it turned
out this was because c/s 17000 was backported to that tree without
also applying c/s 17515), I figured that the hypervisor shouldn't rely
on any specific state of the actual trace buffer (as it is shared
writable with Dom0)
[GWD: Volatile quantifiers have been taken out and moved to another
patch]
To make clear what purpose specific variables have and/or where they
got loaded from, the patch also changes the type of some of them to be
explicitly u32/s32, and removes pointless assertions (like checking an
unsigned variable to be >= 0).
I also took the prototype adjustment of __trace_var() as an
opportunity to simplify the TRACE_xD() macros. Similar simplification
could be done on the (quite numerous) direct callers of the function.
