I could be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that this is wrong.
The GHCB spec says that `exit_info_2` is the `rep` count. Not the
string length.

For example, given a `rep outsw` instruction, with `ECX` set to `8`,
the rep count written into `SW_EXITINFO2` should be eight x86 words
(i.e., 16 bytes) and the IO size should be one x86 word (i.e., 2
bytes). In other words, the code was correct before this patch. This
patch is incorrectly dividing the rep count by the IO size, causing
the string IO to be truncated.
