Hi,

The code would be simpler if some intercept tests were done at runtime 
in the corresponding helpers (for crN, drN and MSR registers, I/Os). 
This is especially true when the existing helpers can return an 
exception at runtime. Complicating the translator to handle SVM is 
definitely not the way I would have handled it.

For I/Os for example, there was already the necessary support to do 
runtime tests (see gen_check_io()). Adding one bit to return the prefix 
information is all what it needed. The current code is actually slower 
because new ops were added for each I/O instruction.

Regards,

Fabrice.
