The change is in forth patch:

}
As you mentioned, since it will call apic_enabled() to check whether apic is
enabled in vcpu_scan_ioapic. So we must ensure rescan ioapic when apic state
changed.
And I found recalculate_apic_map() doesn't track the enable/disable apic by
software approach. So make_scan_ioapic_request in recalculate_apic_map() is not
enough.
We also should force rescan ioapic when apic state is changed via software
approach(update spiv reg).
