Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is implementation-defined
behaviour. Using unsigned is better option for this.

Fixes: 4cca6ea04d31 ("x86/apic: Allow x2apic without IR on VMware platform")

This patch has clearly not been tested, and not even compiled! (It is
missing a semicolon at the end of the return statement).

Please take your time to revise and test your patch based on the
review feedback; there is no hurry! :)

(Also, while at it, the double From: at the beginning of the patch
needs to be fixed too).

Regards,
Srivatsa
