Andrew Cooper 07e8f88568 x86/apic: Drop apic::delivery_mode
This field is set to APIC_DELIVERY_MODE_FIXED in all cases, and is read
exactly once.  Fold the constant in uv_program_mmr() and drop the field.

Searching for the origin of the stale HyperV comment reveals commit
a31e58e129 ("x86/apic: Switch all APICs to Fixed delivery mode") which
notes:

  As a consequence of this change, the apic::irq_delivery_mode field is
  now pointless, but this needs to be cleaned up in a separate patch.

6 years is long enough for this technical debt to have survived.

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
