The interrupt shadow created by STI or MOV-SS-like operations is part of

STI and MOV-SS interrupt shadow are both treated differently by hardware. Any attempt to unify them into a single field is wrong, especially so in a hardware virtualization context, where they are actually represented by different fields in the undocumented but nevertheless extant format that can be inferred from the hardware virtualization context used by specific vendors.
