  Jan, thanks for your help!
  generate_exception_if(vex.l, EXC_UD) in here is not any useful,
  i will remove it, thanks!

  The new patch will like below:

      host_and_vcpu_must_have(pclmulqdq);
      if ( vex.opcx == vex_none )
          goto simd_0f3a_common;
+     if ( !vex.l )
+         goto simd_0f_imm8_avx;
+     host_and_vcpu_must_have(vpclmulqdq);
      goto simd_0f_imm8_ymm;

      simd_0f_imm8_ymm will be new created, which like simd_of_ymm did in the code.
