enabling apic
PASS: TSX_CTRL should be 0
PASS: Transactions do not abort
PASS: TSX_CTRL hides RTM
PASS: TSX_CTRL hides HLE
PASS: TSX_CTRL=0 unhides RTM
PASS: TSX_CTRL causes transactions to abort
PASS: TSX_CTRL=0 causes transactions to succeed
SUMMARY: 7 tests

...and, for the vmexit test...

enabling apic
