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.
