Got it and will fix. The APIC_LDR is also cleared in vlapic_reset.
Do you mean it will do a cast automatically? I don't know that before.
I was afraid that the higher qword of ~MSR_IA32_APICBASE_EXTD will is 
zero.

Actually, I don't know and that's also why I don't touch apic_base_msr in the
first verson. Will try to get a confirmation from hardware guys.
