Hmm, more thoughts.
Trap means that the instruction was already executed, so backing iip
means the instruction will be executed twice.
The result would be wrong. For example, how about if the destination
register is one of the source register.
(Or is it safe to execute the instruction twice given that
FP trap was triggered? I'm not sure about such a corner case. need
to dig into the specs...)
If we fail to get a bundle in a guest when FP trap,
we can't reexecute the instruction. We have to inject floating
point trap into guest.
Arrg, so FPSWA hypercall has to be implemented correctly?
What about HVM domain case?
