Is there actually a use case for this? Exposing port IO to userspace doesn't exactly improve security. Given that i386 ABI requires EFLAGS.DF=0 upon function entry/exit, i.e. is the de facto default, the DF bug implies this hasn't been tested. And I don't see how this could possibly have worked for SEV given that the kernel unrolls string I/O because the VMM can't emulate string I/O. Presumably someone would have complained if they "needed" to run legacy crud. The host and guest obviously need major updates, so supporting e.g. DPDK with legacy virtio seems rather silly. > > > + ghcb->shared_buffer, io_bytes, > > > + exit_info_2, df); > > > > df handling is busted, it's aways non-zero.

As in, the guest can't debug itself? Or the host can't debug the guest?
