The CPU ID in KVM is supposed to be the APIC ID, so change the
KVM_CREATE_VCPU call to match it. It didn't break anything yet because
today the APIC ID is assumed to be == the CPU index, but this won't be
true in the future.

What it would break if APIC ID != CPU index ?

It is not supposed to break anything, now that SeaBIOS was changed to
accept non-contiguous APIC IDs (and after applying patches 3-6 from this
series). If there is other code that expect APIC ID == CPU index, that
code also needs to be fixed.
