While for us it's not as bad as it was for Linux, their commit
13e457e0ee ("KVM: x86: Emulator does not decode clflush well", by
Nadav Amit <namit@cs.technion.ac.il>) nevertheless points out two
shortcomings in our code: opcode 0F AE /7 is clflush only when it uses
a memory mode (otherwise it's SFENCE) and when there's no REP prefix
(an operand size prefix is fine, as that's CLFLUSHOPT).
