Upcoming Intel CPUs will support virtual x2APIC MSR writes to the vICR,
i.e. will trap and generate an APIC-write VM-Exit instead of intercepting
the WRMSR.  Add support for handling "nodecode" x2APIC writes, which
were previously impossible.

Note, x2APIC MSR writes are 64 bits wide.

This needs to clear the APIC_ICR_BUSY bit.  It'd also be nice to trace this write.
The easiest thing is to use kvm_x2apic_icr_write().  Kinda silly as it'll generate
an extra write, but on the plus side the TODO comment doesn't have to move :-D

As SDM section 10.12.9 "ICR Operation in X2APIC mode" says "Delivery status
bit is removed since it is not needed in x2APIC mode" , so that's not necessary to clear the APIC_ICR_BUSY bit here. Alternatively we can add trace to this write
by hardware.
