With the risk of being wrong (again), I'd say this is incorrect: The
MOVS instruction will start reading at ESI, and write at the address
indicated by EDI and write with size bytes, even when it's copying
backwards. So there should be no multiplication of sign on this line. 

I'm sorry I missed this the first time I looked at the patch the first
time and said "That looks right". 

The rest of the patch looks fine to me.

No, the test is for if the first (current) operation is crossing a page boundary, not if the NEXT one is... That's why the code in this condition is using hvm_copy to fetch the data that is being accessed... 

But leave it as is right now, I'm still working on getting a piece of test-code to do MOVS in various ways...
