On this topic, here's an idea I have been kicking around for a while: If the x86_emulate code is so buggy/incomplete, and the QEMU one seems to be able to generally handle most situations...could we simply exit to userspace and use the qemu emulator somehow? I realize the overhead is greater, but slow+working is > fast+broken in my book ;) Perhaps a hybrid solution would work? E.g. exit to qemu emulator when the in-kernel stuff hits a mis-emulation point (do we realize this consciously in the code, or only after the guest crashes?) I'm not really sure if this is plausible. Its just something I was thinking about.
