Paolo Bonzini f0585a714a KVM: x86: Add emulator support for decoding VEX prefixes
After all the changes done in the previous patches, the only thing
left to support AVX MOV instructions is to expand the VEX prefix into
the appropriate REX, 66/F3/F2 and map prefixes.  Three-operand
instructions are not supported.

The Avx bit in this case is not cleared, in fact it is used as the
sign that the instruction does support VEX encoding.  Until it is
added to any instruction, however, the only functional change is
to change some not-implemented instructions to #UD if they correspond
to a VEX prefix with an invalid map.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
