What is apic_reg_read doing? None of the checks it performs that can 
result in return value of 1 are necessary for APIC-write VM-exit AFAICS.

Are the different combinations of register virtualization / virtual
interrupt delivery actually supported?

Why would it be useful to enable register virtualization / virtual
interrupt delivery separately?

Point of return value == 0?
