This leads to a protection fault as the genapic blindly pokes x2apic MSRs while the local apic is in xapic mode. One option is to change genapic when we shut down the local apic, but there are still problems with trying to IPI processors in the online processor map which are actually sitting in NMI loops Another option is to have each CPU take itself out of the online CPU map during the NMI shootdown. Realistically however, disabling hpet legacy broadcasts earlier in the kexec path is the easiest fix to the problem.
