32-bit operations are zero extended in 64-bit mode. Currently, the code does
not handle them correctly and keeps the high bits. In 16-bit mode, the high
32-bits are kept intact.

In addition, although it is not well-documented, when address override prefix
is used with REP-string instruction, RCX high half is zeroed even if ECX was
zero on the first iteration (as if an assignment was performed to ECX).

Is this true even for REPZ and ZF=0 or REPNZ and ZF=1?
