Hi, Vitaly, thanks for your reply.
Do you think there may be a wrong physical id in avic_handle_ldr_update too ?

I think we're guaranteed to be in xAPIC mode when we reach here. I would have a try to export
and use use kvm_xapic_id here and in avic_handle_apic_id_update too.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Have a nice day.
Best wishes.
