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.

While you are at it, would you mind replacing "0xf0" with APIC_SPIV in enable_apic() also ?
