[PART1 RFC 8/9] svm: Do not intercept CR8 when enable AVIC

From: Suravee Suthikulpanit
Date: Fri Feb 12 2016 - 09:01:55 EST


From: Suravee Suthikulpanit <Suravee.Suthikulpanit@xxxxxxx>

When enable AVIC:
* Do not intercept CR8 since this should be handled by AVIC HW.
* Also update TPR in APIC backing page when syncing CR8 before VMRUN
