Ah, but that's only the behavior if FEP is allowed.  If FEP is disabled, then the
#UD will be on the prefix.

Heh, I didn't really suggest this because I didn't even realize it was a problem :-)

This should be a separate patch, and probably as the very last patch in case dc.a
isn't viable for whatever reason.  I've never seen/used dc.a so I really have no
idea whether or not it's ok to use.

As a "safe" alternative that can be done before adding ASM_TRY_FEP(), we can steal
the kernel's __ASM_SEL() approach so that you don't have to implement two versions
of ASM_TRY_FEP().  That's worth doing because __ASM_SEL() can probably be used in
other places too.  Patch at the bottom.

Rather than a generic ASM_TRY_PREFIXED, I think it makes sense to add an explicit
ASM_TRY_FEP() that takes in only the label and hardcodes the FEP prefix.  The "#UD
skips the prefix" behavior is unique to "successful" forced emulation, so this is
literally the only scenario where skipping a prefix is expected/correct.

*sigh*

That'll require moving the KVM_FEP definition, but that's a good change on its
own.  Probably throw it in lib/x86/processor.h?

Put this patch earlier in the series, before test_illegal_lea() is introduced.
Both so that there's no unnecessary churn, and also because running the illegal
LEA testcase without this patch will fail.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: Dedup 32-bit vs. 64-bit ASM_TRY() by stealing kernel's
 __ASM_SEL()

Steal the kernel's __ASM_SEL() implementation and use it to consolidate
ASM_TRY().  The only difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions is
the size of the address stored in the table.

No functional change intended.
