+LAPIC passthrough based on vLAPIC
+=================================
+
+LAPIC passthrough is supported based on vLAPIC, after switch to x2APIC
+mode. In case of LAPIC passthrough based on vLAPIC, the system will have the
+following characteristics.
+
+* IRQs received by the LAPIC can be handled by the Guest VM without ``vmexit``
+* Guest VM always see virtual LAPIC IDs for security reasons
+* most MSRs are directly accessible from Guest VM except for ``XAPICID``,
+  ``LDR`` and ``ICR``. Write operations to ``ICR`` will be trapped to avoid
+  malicious IPI. Read operations to ``XAPIC`` and ``LDR`` will be trapped in
+  order to make the Guest VM always see the virtual LAPIC IDs instead of the
+  physical ones.
