[Xen-devel] [HVM] Some ASSERT()s in vlapic.c should be removed and the cases should be handled more carefully?

["Cui, Dexuan" <dexuan.cui@xxxxxxxxx>]

For the ASSERT()s in vlapic_find_highest_irr(), vlapic_read(), if we are
using a debug=y build Xen, a malicious guest kernel or module can send a
vIPI with vector less than 16, or read a non-aligned address -- then the
ASSERT can crash Xen.

For the valid vector, maybe we should add the  emulation of
APIC_ESR(Error Status Register).
