When testing MMIO interface to APIC we need to make sure that APIC is in xAPIC mode (and not x2APIC). KVM started enforcing this since commit d1766202779e ("x86/kvm/lapic: always disable MMIO interface in x2APIC mode"). While the 'clean' fix would be to separate L2's APIC from L1's and put it to xAPIC mode or create a different MMIO mapping just for the test we lack the required infrastructure in vmx library. As a quick band-aid put L1's APIC to xAPIC mode for both EPT A/D enabled and disabled tests, it seems we don't require x2APIC for anything.
