As far as I can tell in this case sysvect_apic_timer_interrupt() is
called by the following code in arch/x86/kernel/idt.c:

  INTG(LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR,                asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt),

, which does not use IDTENTRY_SYSVEC framework and thus does not call
irqentry_enter().

I guess handling those will require wrapping every interrupt gate into
a function that performs register unpoisoning?

By the way, if it helps, I think we don't necessarily have to call
kmsan_unpoison_memory() from within the
instrumentation_begin()/instrumentation_end() region?
We could move the call to the beginning of irqentry_enter(), removing
unnecessary duplication.
