Aha, this makes sense---and it's easy to handle too, since you can just
add a flag to the decode table and extend the string op case to cover
that flag too.  Detecting cross-page MMIO is more problematic, I don't
have an idea offhand of how to solve it.

It would forbid usage of "push/pop mem" instructions with MMIO for SEV,
right?  It probably doesn't happen much in practice, but it's unfortunate.
