I would rephrase to say that this rename is in order to document that the x86 emulator is called to handle
VMware #GP interception. In theory, VMware could have also added weird behaviour
to #UD interception as-well. :P

I would add here a comment explaining why you can assume #GP error-code is 0.
i.e. Explain that’s because VMware #GP interception is only related to IN{S}, OUT{S} and RDPMC
instructions which all of them raise #GP with error-code of 0.

Same here.
