Subject: [PATCH 4/5] KVM: x86: RSI/RDI/RCX are zero-extended when affected by string ops

When using address-size override prefix with string instructions in long-mode,
ESI/EDI/ECX are zero extended if they are affected by the instruction
(incremented/decremented).  Currently, the KVM emulator does not do so.

In addition, although it is not well-documented, when address override prefix
is used with REP-string instruction, RCX high half is zeroed even if ECX was
zero on the first iteration. Therefore, the emulator should clear the upper
part of RCX in this case, as x86 CPUs do.
