KVM: x86 emulator: Specialize decoding for insns with 66/f2/f3 prefixes
Most SIMD instructions use the 66/f2/f3 prefixes to distinguish between
different variants of the same instruction. Usually the encoding is quite
regular, but in some cases (including non-SIMD instructions) the prefixes
generate very different instructions. Examples include XCHG/PAUSE,
MOVQ/MOVDQA/MOVDQU, and MOVBE/CRC32.
Allow the emulator to handle these special cases by splitting such opcodes
into groups, with different decode flags and execution functions for different
prefixes.
