My code (arch/x86/x86_emulate/x86_emulate.c) does have a case label for it:

3677     case 0xfa: /* cli */
3678         generate_exception_if(!mode_iopl(), EXC_GP, 0);
3679         _regs.eflags &= ~EFLG_IF;
3680         break;

Maybe the IOPL test fails there? Tamas, does your guest die after a CLI
as well?


Thanks,
