We know both register and value for eoi beforehand, so there's no need to check it and no need to do math to calculate the msr. Saves instructions/branches on each EOI when using x2apic. I checked the generated code to verify that it actually is shorter, but haven't done any performance testing. What's appropriate here and what kind of test makes the most sense?
