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.
