Does it really need to be zero when returning X86EMUL_EXCEPTION?

Why is this?  In the case that X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE is returned, the
emulator appears to override nr_reps to 1.

I'm clearly missing something.

Independently to the issue at hand, this looks suspicious for the
reverse direction.

Hardware will issue a walk for the first byte of access, and optionally
a second at the start of the subsequent page for a straddled access. 
For the reverse case, this looks like it will truncate down to the start
of the lower linear address, which I bet isn't how hardware actually
behaves.

(In some copious free time, I should really put together a discontinuous
rep insn XTF test).

Yes. Since an exception may occur on other than the first
iteration, in that case the number of successfully done one
needs to be handed back. See also the other #PF invocation
a few lines up.

Where did you see that? What we have is

        if ( (nr_reps > 1 || rc == X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE) && ops->rep_ins )
            rc = ops->rep_ins(port, dst.mem.seg, dst.mem.off, dst.bytes,
                              &nr_reps, ctxt);
        if ( nr_reps >= 1 && rc == X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE )
        {
            fail_if(!ops->read_io || !ops->write);
            if ( (rc = ops->read_io(port, dst.bytes, &dst.val, ctxt)) != 0 )
                goto done;
            nr_reps = 0;
        }

Good point. Since I've played with this just now anyway, let me
see if I can get this corrected in another patch.

Actually - no, this looks all fine. Note the "ASSERT(!reverse)" in
context above. Reverse page straddling accesses are being
handled by a single forward iteration several lines up from here.

Ah - the INS/OUTS handing is different to the MOVS/STOS, where the
MOVS/STOS does cope fine with reps being zero.

Good point.  I've got a patch which cleans up the pagefault handling a
little, which I will rebase over this patch.

I'd just dropped the MOVS/STOS from the text, but left it unchanged
otherwise.
