Define the "physical table max index mask" as bits 8:0, not 9:0. x2AVIC
currently supports a max of 512 entries, i.e. the max index is 511, and
the inputs to GENMASK_ULL() are inclusive. The bug is benign as bit 9 is
reserved and never set by KVM, i.e. KVM is just clearing bits that are
guaranteed to be zero.
Note, as of this writing, APM "Rev. 3.39-October 2022" incorrectly states
that bits 11:8 are reserved in Table B-1. VMCB Layout, Control Area. I.e.
that table wasn't updated when x2AVIC support was added.
Opportunistically fix the comment for the max AVIC ID to align with the
code, and clean up comment formatting too.

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.
