ADVANCED PROGRAMMABLE INTERRUPT CONTROLLER (APIC)
Table 8-1 shows how the APIC registers are mapped into the 4-KByte APIC register
space. Registers are 32 bits, 64 bits, or 256 bits in width; all are aligned on 128-bit
boundaries. All 32-bit registers should be accessed using 128-bit aligned 32-bit loads
or stores. Some processors may support loads and stores of less than 32 bits to some
of the APIC registers. This is model specific behavior and is not guaranteed to work
on all processors. Wider registers (64-bit or 256-bit) must be accessed using multiple
32-bit loads or stores, with the first access being 128-bit aligned. If a LOCK prefix is
used with a MOV instruction that accesses the APIC address space, the prefix is
ignored. The locking operation does not take place. All the registers listed in Table
8-1 are described in the following sections.
The local APIC registers listed in Table 8-1 are not MSRs. The only MSR associated
with the programming of the local APIC is the IA32_APIC_BASE MSR (see Section
8.4.3, “Enabling or Disabling the Local APIC”).
