That referred to an address that doesn't correspond to RAM.  You can use
addresses like these in a real processor.

But the manual says that "if the “use TPR shadow” VM-execution control
is 1, VM entry ensures that the virtual-APIC address is 4-KByte aligned"
(24.6.8 Controls For APIC Virtualization).  This is the check that is
missing.
