From: Andrew Cooper Subject: hvm/fep: Allow testing of instructions crossing the -1 -> 0 virtual boundary The Force Emulation Prefix is named to follow its PV counterpart for cpuid or rdtsc, but isn't really an instruction prefix. It behaves as a break-out into Xen, with the purpose of emulating the next instruction in the current state. It is important to be able to test legal situations which occur in real hardware, including instruction which cross certain boundaries, and instructions starting at 0.
