Yes, the change is /probably/ correct. However, I'm opposed to the change because it makes draining needlessly complicated. I'm still of the opinion that this is an x86 frontend issue and that should be fixed in the ISA code (e.g. by adding a hlt+eret micro-op) rather than creating a mess in the backend.
I am surprised with your assertion that code is becoming complicated and a mess is being created. If this code is complicated, then in my opinion, most gem5 is beyond comprehension and hence this patch would not cause any difference other than correcting several bugs that exist as of now.
