From: Paolo Bonzini pbonzini@redhat.com

commit 0b2e9904c15963e715d33e5f3f1387f17d19333a upstream.

The initial reset of the local APIC is performed before the VMCS has been created, but it tries to do a vmwrite:

vmwrite error: reg 810 value 4a00 (err 18944) CPU: 54 PID: 38652 Comm: qemu-kvm Tainted: G W I 4.16.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc28.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: Intel Corporation S2600CW/S2600CW, BIOS SE5C610.86B.01.01.0003.090520141303 09/05/2014 Call Trace: vmx_set_rvi [kvm_intel] vmx_hwapic_irr_update [kvm_intel] kvm_lapic_reset [kvm] kvm_create_lapic [kvm] kvm_arch_vcpu_init [kvm] kvm_vcpu_init [kvm] vmx_create_vcpu [kvm_intel] kvm_vm_ioctl [kvm]

Move it later, after the VMCS has been created.
