The main thing that the selftest verifies is that KVM copies x2APIC's
ICR[63:32] to/from ICR2 when userspace accesses the vAPIC page via
KVM_{G,S}ET_LAPIC. KVM previously split x2APIC ICR to ICR+ICR2 at the
time of write (from the guest), and so KVM must preserve that behavior
for backwards compatibility between different versions of KVM.
It will also test other invariants, e.g. that KVM clears the BUSY
flag on ICR writes, that the reserved bits in ICR2 are dropped on writes
from the guest, etc...

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.
