This patch fix bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61411

TPR shadow/threshold feature is important to speed up the Windows guest.
Besides, it is a must feature for certain VMM.

We map virtual APIC page address and TPR threshold from L1 VMCS. If
TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD VM exit is triggered by L2 guest and L1 interested
in, we inject it into L1 VMM for handling.

Missing PAGE_ALIGNED check.  I should have spotted this before, so I
just fixed it and will commit the patch soon.

Thanks for your persistence!

Maybe I misunderstand your comments "On real hardware you could point
the virtual-APIC page to an invalid address."

Thanks for your great help. ;-)

That referred to an address that doesn't correspond to RAM.  You can use
addresses like these in a real processor.

But the manual says that "if the “use TPR shadow” VM-execution control
is 1, VM entry ensures that the virtual-APIC address is 4-KByte aligned"
(24.6.8 Controls For APIC Virtualization).  This is the check that is
missing.
