Write vcpu->arch.apic_base directly instead of bouncing through kvm_set_apic_base(). This is a glorified nop, and is a step towards cleaning up the mess that is local APIC creation. When using an in-kernel APIC, kvm_create_lapic() explicitly sets vcpu->arch.apic_base to MSR_IA32_APICBASE_ENABLE to avoid its own kvm_lapic_set_base() call in kvm_lapic_reset() from triggering state changes. That call during RESET exists purely to set apic->base_address to the default base value. As a result, by the time VMX gets control, the only missing piece is the BSP bit being set for the reset BSP. For a userspace APIC, there are no side effects to process (for the APIC). In both cases, the call to kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() is a nop because the vCPU hasn't yet been exposed to userspace, i.e. there can't be any CPUID entries. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
