Description
Between the complicated conditional logic for APICv vs. non-accelerated LAPIC emulation, and the TPR shadowing changes which were added to bhyve circa March 2020, it has become somewhat difficult to grasp how and when the value of the PPR in the virtual LAPIC is set. It would be valuable to make all of its value transitions clear, so that we know it is correct at all times. This will ensure that the guest can observe the correct value (via the LAPIC register) and we have the correct priority value to use for determining if an incoming interrupt should wake the guest.
