Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86: clear guest's EFLAGS.RF after emulating instructions

This is only in handle_mmio() where I cleared the flag earlier - since #PF has 
lower
priority than #DB, .RF must have been set when the exception was reported, and
hence I must re-set it when forwarding the exception.
