Work is not much and basically it sum up into two parts:

Identify if the X2Apic is supported, if yes enable it
Update the write_apic_register/read_apic_register functions to check what type of apic is being used and use the correct instructions to access the register.

I implemented it for northporth, so that pr should contain all the info needed to port it to DreamOS64: https://github.com/DeanoBurrito/northport/pull/23
