It somewhat concerns me, because one of the conflicts is generated by

hpa, confilicts with x2apic branch are very small and related to cpuid bits.

x64, x2apic/intr-remap: cpuid bits for x2apic feature
cpuid feature for x2apic.

Both of these patches are straight forward, simple and can be moved
to x86/core(?) now, if that helps.

This is true. Cherry-picking those to the x86/core branch is probably the easiest, even if that means they're duplicated in the x2apic branch (I presume we don't want to rebase x2apic).
