2) PCI interrupt delivery to ioapic pins 16-19 in compliance with
   that mptable.   PCI interrupts are now delivered both by PIRQ

I think these MSRs are probably hardwired directly to the GDT entries, so there is no need to virtualize them.
This is good because the hardware does not provide any virtualization support for these two MSRs at all.

Of course I might be wrong about this...
