If the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control is set in the VMCS, the APIC virtualization hardware is triggered when a page walk in VMX non-root mode terminates at a PTE wherein the address of the 4k page frame matches the APIC-access address specified in the VMCS. On hardware, the APIC-access address may be any valid 4k-aligned physical address. KVM's nVMX implementation enforces the additional constraint that the APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12 must be backed by a "struct page" in L1. If not, L0 will simply clear the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control in the vmcs02. The problem with this approach is that the L1 guest has arranged the vmcs12 EPT tables--or shadow page tables, if the "enable EPT" VM-execution control is clear in the vmcs12--so that the L2 guest physical address(es)--or L2 guest linear address(es)--that reference the L2 APIC map to the APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12. Without the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution control in the vmcs02, the APIC accesses in the L2 guest will directly access the APIC-access page in L1. When there is no mapping whatsoever for the APIC-access address in L1, the L2 VM just loses the intended APIC virtualization. However, when the APIC-access address is mapped to an MMIO region in L1, the L2 guest gets direct access to the L1 MMIO device. For example, if the APIC-access address specified in the vmcs12 is 0xfee00000, then L2 gets direct access to L1's APIC. Since this vmcs12 configuration is something that KVM cannot faithfully emulate, the appropriate response is to exit to userspace with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION.
