Having recently noticed that emulate_ud() is broken when the guest's
TF is set, I suppose I should ask: does your new code function
sensibly when TF is set?

Also, anyone want to fix that emulate_ud() bug?  The test case is merged now:

# ./tools/testing/selftests/x86/syscall_arg_fault_32
[RUN]    SYSENTER with invalid state
[OK]    Seems okay
[RUN]    SYSCALL with invalid state
[SKIP]    Illegal instruction
[RUN]    SYSENTER with TF and invalid state
[OK]    Seems okay
[RUN]    SYSCALL with TF and invalid state
[WARN]    Got stuck single-stepping -- you probably have a KVM bug
