Why not export only emulator_can_use_gpa from emulate.c? (So in the end leaving emulator_is_string_op in emulate.c was the right thing to do, it was just the test that was wrong :)). The patch below is still missing the check for cross-page MMIO. Your reference to the BKDG only covers MMCONFIG (sometimes referred to as ECAM), not MMIO in general. Doing AND or OR into video memory for example is perfectly legal, and I'm fairly sure that some obscure legacy software does PUSH/POP into vram as well!
