To enable x2apic, should you to consider the behavior changes to rdmsr and wrmsr. I didn't see your patch do it. Is it correct?
BTW, this patch has nothing to do with APICv, it's better to not use x2apic here and change to apicv in following patch.

APIC_WRITE vmexit is introduced by APIC register virtualization not virtualize x2apic. Move it to next patch.
