Re: SVSM draft specification (v1.01 draft #3)

Hi Tom,

In the section 9.1 SVSM_APIC_QUERY_FEATURES call,

"The APIC emulation supports the following APIC registers:"

The Destination Format Register (DFR) is also mentioned in the Alternate 
Injection spec from Jon Lange.

However, the DFR and the LDR both are not implemented in the SVSM code 
now, so the question is : should we remove the DFR and LDR from the spec 
or should we implement these two registers in the SVSM?
