According to the sub-section titled 'VM-Execution Control Fields' in the
section titled 'Basic VM-Entry Checks' in Intel SDM vol. 3C, the following
vmentry check must be enforced:
If the 'virtualize APIC-accesses' VM-execution control is 1, the
APIC-access address must satisfy the following checks:
- Bits 11:0 of the address must be 0.
- The address should not set any bits beyond the processor's
physical-address width.
This patch adds the necessary check to conform to this rule. If the check
fails, we cause the L2 VMENTRY to fail which is what the associated unit
test (following patch) expects.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
