When emulating a x2APIC write in response to an APICv/AVIC trap, get the
the written value from the vAPIC page without checking that reads are
allowed for the target register. AVIC can generate trap-like VM-Exits on
writes to EOI, and so KVM needs to get the written value from the backing
page without running afoul of EOI's write-only behavior.
Alternatively, EOI could be special cased to always write '0', e.g. so
that the sanity check could be preserved, but x2APIC on AMD is actually
supposed to disallow non-zero writes (not emulated by KVM), and the
sanity check was a byproduct of how the KVM code was written, i.e. wasn't
added to guard against anything in particular.

Fixes: 1bd9dfec9fd4 ("KVM: x86: Do not block APIC write for non ICR registers")

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.
