Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v7 00/15] x86/hvm: I/O emulation cleanup and fix | Full Backtrace of domU's X crash caused by SSE2 istruction in attachment

[Zhi Wang <zhi.a.wang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gurus:
    We found that MOVD instruction are used by some windows driver 
during developing XenGT, and also we found this one:
(XEN) MMIO emulation failed: d7v1 64bit @ 0010:fffff8000294e273 -> 66 0f 
e7 00 48 83 c0 10 45 3
b cb 73 f0 45 85 c9

If anyone can help us to upstream this one into instruction emulator and 
plus the MOVD instruction emulation, that will be nice. :)
Thanks,
Zhi.
