From: Nadav Amit <nadav.amit@xxxxxxxxx> After the APIC is reset, some of its registers might be reset. As the SDM says: "When IA32_APIC_BASE[11] is set to 0, prior initialization to the APIC may be lost and the APIC may return to the state described in Section 10.4.7.1". The SDM also says that after APIC reset "the spurious-interrupt vector register is initialized to 000000FFH". This means that after the APIC is reset it needs to be software-enabled through the SPIV. This is done one occasion, but there are (at least) two occasions that do not software-enable the APIC after reset (__test_apic_id() and main() in vmx.c). Move APIC SPIV reinitialization into reset_apic(). Remove SPIV settings which are unnecessary after reset_apic() is modified.
