I wonder why testl operation will also cause a ICR write, from the
asm code, there should only issue one IPI, but from trace-cmd, it
issued 3 IPI, is there something wrong?
It's a bug in test insn emulation, coincidentally I wrote a patch to fix
it yesterday, not imagining that it actually happens in practice.
Is it also possible to optimize ICR write emulation, from the
result, winxp vm will produce a lot of ICR writes
Unfortunately not.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
