Just want to clarify the part that you mentioned "to handle them". 
IIUC, offet 0x400 and above are for x2APIC stuff, which AVIC does not 
currently support. Also, since I have only advertised as xAPIC when 
enabling AVIC, if we run into the situation that the VM is trying to 
access these register, we should just ignore it (and not BUG). Do I 
understand that correctly?

Thanks,
Suravee
