[Xen-devel] [PATCH 7/6] x86emul: MOVNTI does not allow REP prefixes

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Just like 66, prefixes F3 and F2 cause #UD.

Also adjust a related comment, which in its previous wording was
misleading (as in 16-bit mode there would nothing be undone when
adjusting operand size from 2 to 4).
