mainlining shenanigans
98d90582be
Current SVM AVIC driver makes two incorrect assumptions:
1. APIC LDR register cannot be zero
2. APIC DFR for all vCPUs must be the same
LDR=0 means the local APIC does not support logical destination mode.
Therefore, the driver should mark any previously assigned logical APIC ID
table entry as invalid, and return success. Also, DFR is specific to
a particular local APIC, and can be different among all vCPUs
(as observed on Windows 10).
These incorrect assumptions cause Windows 10 and FreeBSD VMs to fail
to boot with AVIC enabled. So, instead of flush the whole logical APIC ID
table, handle DFR and LDR for each vCPU independently.

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.
