It does when you give objdump one extra byte to look at.

0000000000000005 <kvm>:
   5:    0f 0b                    ud2   
   7:    6b 76 6d 00              imul   $0x0,0x6d(%rsi),%esi

I did try to point out that this property should have been checked
before settling on 'kvm' as the string.

As for the Xen prefix, it's introduction pre-dates me substantially, and
I don't know whether the disassembly was considered, or we just got lucky.

IMO, the string 'Xen' would would have been sightly nicer

0000000000000005 <Xen>:
   5:    0f 0b                    ud2   
   7:    58                       pop    %rax
   8:    65 6e                    outsb  %gs:(%rsi),(%dx)

but we're 13 years too late to amend this.

:)

I seem to recall UD0 and UD1 being very late to the documentation party.
