Disassembly:
   0:    66 0f e7 00              movntdq %xmm0,(%rax)
   4:    48 83 c0 10              add    $0x10,%rax
   8:    45 3b cb                 cmp    %r11d,%r9d
   b:    73 f0                    jae    0xfffffffffffffffd
   d:    45 85 c9                 test   %r9d,%r9d

The x86 instruction emulator does appear to have a decode for this
instruction.  This failure suggests that the implementation is buggy.

To start with diagnosing, add a test case to
tools/tests/x86_emulator/test_x86_emulator.c

Then, you will want to investigate the implementation in
xen/arch/x86/x86_emulate/x86_emulate.c around line 4245.
