Where is this documented?  The TMR is not part of the set of virtualized
APIC registers (TPR, PPR, EOI, ISR, IRR, ICR+ICR2; SDM 29.1.1).

Only virtualized APIC register reads use the virtual TMR registers (SDM
29.4.2 or 29.5), but these just read data from the corresponding field
in the virtual APIC page.
