These are used during bootup and (emergency) shutdown only, and their only purpose is to get the actual IO-APIC's RTE(s) cleared. Consequently, only the "raw" accessors should be used (and the ones going through interrupt remapping code can be skipped), with the exception of determining the delivery mode: This one must always go through the interrupt remapping path, as in the VT-d case the actual IO-APIC's RTE will have the delivery mode always set to zero (which before possibly could have resulted in such an entry getting cleared in the "raw" pass, though I haven't observed this case in practice).
