I found that function and it will be called by vcpu_put eventually
inside kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run, but kvm_mmu_page_fault is called much
earlier than that inside kvm exit exception handler. so, the fxsave
data for the guest image might not be saved at that moment, when I am
going to emulate this instruction?
Just call it when you want to be sure it is in memory.
btw, I just found an old branch of mine that implements movdqa, I'll see
if I can refresh and repost it.
