Use the "raw" helper to read the vAPIC register after an APIC-write trap VM-Exit. Hardware is responsible for vetting the write, and the caller is responsible for sanitizing the offset. This is a functional change, as it means KVM will consume whatever happens to be in the vAPIC page if the write was dropped by hardware. But, unless userspace deliberately wrote garbage into the vAPIC page via KVM_SET_LAPIC, the value should be zero since it's not writable by the guest. This aligns common x86 with SVM's AVIC logic, i.e. paves the way for using the nodecode path to handle APIC-write traps when AVIC is enabled.

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.
