> If vmcs12 does not intercept APIC_BASE writes, then KVM will handle the
> write with vmcs02 as the current VMCS.
> This will incorrectly apply modifications intended for vmcs01 to vmcs02
> and L2 can use it to gain access to L0's x2APIC registers by disabling
> virtualized x2APIC while using msr bitmap that assumes enabled.
>
> Postpone execution of vmx_set_virtual_x2apic_mode until vmcs01 is the
> current VMCS.  An alternative solution would temporarily make vmcs01 the
> current VMCS, but it requires more care.
