Using the effective list provided by the local APIC emulation fixes multiple (classes of) bugs, as the existing hand-coded list of MSRs is wrong on multiple fronts: - ARBPRI isn't supported by KVM, isn't accelerated by AVIC (for read or write), and its #VMEXIT is fault-like, i.e. requires decoding the instruction. Disabling interception is nonsensical and suboptimal. - DFR and ICR2 aren't supported by x2APIC and so don't need their intercepts disabled for performance reasons. While the #GP due to x2APIC being abled has higher priority than the trap-like #VMEXIT, disabling interception of unsupported MSRs is confusing and unnecessary. - RRR is completely unsupported. - AVIC currently fails to pass through the "range of vectors" registers, IRR, ISR, and TMR, as e.g. X2APIC_MSR(APIC_IRR) only affects IRR0, and thus only disables intercept for vectors 31:0 (which are the *least* interesting registers). - TMCCT (the current APIC timer count) isn't accelerated by hardware, and generates a fault-like AVIC_UNACCELERATED_ACCESS #VMEXIT, i.e. requires KVM to decode the instruction to figure out what the guest was trying to access. Note, the only reason this isn't a fatal bug is that the AVIC architecture had the foresight to guard against buggy hypervisors. E.g. if hardware simply read from the virtual APIC page, the guest would get garbage (because the timer is emulated in software).
