The name "forced emulation on #UD" is not clear to me.
If I understand correctly, EMULTYPE_TRAP_UD is currently used to indicate
that in case the x86 emulator fails to decode instruction, the caller would like
the x86 emulator to fail early such that it can handle this condition properly.
Thus, I would rename it EMULTYPE_TRAP_DECODE_FAILURE.
But this new flag seems to do the same. So I’m left confused.
I’m probably missing something trivial here.
