[PATCH v2] KVM: IOAPIC: only access APIC registers one dword at atime

From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Fri Jul 02 2010 - 04:04:27 EST


The IOAPIC spec says:

When accessing these registers, accesses must be done one dword at a time.
For example, software should never access byte 2 from the Data register before
accessing bytes 0 and 1. The hardware will not attempt to recover from a bad
programming model in this case.

So, this patch removes other width access
