If vCPUs > 255 then x86 common code (x86_cpus_init()) call kvm_enable_x2apic().
But if vCPUs <= 255 then the common code won't calls kvm_enable_x2apic().
This is because commit 8c6619f3e692 ("hw/i386/amd_iommu: Simplify non-KVM
checks on XTSup feature") removed the call to kvm_enable_x2apic when xtsup
is "on", which break things when guest is booted with x2apic mode and
there are <= 255 vCPUs.
Fix this by adding back kvm_enable_x2apic() call when xtsup=on.

I suppose we need:
if (s->xtsup && kvm_enabled()) {
otherwise that will trigger back the problem I tried to fix.
Did you try building QEMU with KVM disabled?

My understanding is if KVM is disabled then kvm_irqchip_is_split() will return
false and we exit on below condition check.
Yes. I had tried `configure --disable-kvm` and it was built fine.
