That's not what either Bochs or QEMU do, though. (Though in the case of
Bochs I cannot find the place where reception of IPIs is prevented for
software-disabled APICs, so I'm not sure how much to trust it in this case).
I'm not sure why software-disabled APICs could have different DFRs, if
the APICs can receive NMI IPIs. I'll ask Intel.
