Unfortunately, the Xen hypervisor has a very nasty bug (seems to be fixed by a
2013 patch - which means that although it is fixed, a lot of hypervisors will
have it), that causes all of the x2apic msr writes to init related registers
(INIT, SIPI, etc) trigger a GPF. The way to work around this, is to implement a
form of "wrmsr_safe".
