Nothing in this patch is VMX-specific, right?

So it should be done in x86.c.

For vmexits happening during a rep string operation that isn't emulated,
the processor should set RF correctly ("If the VM exit is caused
directly by an event that would normally be delivered through the IDT,
the value saved is that which would appear in the saved RFLAGS image had
the event been delivered through the IDT").

Perhaps the emulator could set RF to 1 after executing the first
iteration, and clear it after executing the last?
