SDM describes REP instruction algorithm this way:

WHILE CountReg ≠ 0
  DO
       Service pending interrupts (if any);
       Execute associated string instruction;
       CountReg ← (CountReg – 1);
       IF CountReg = 0
            THEN exit WHILE loop; FI;
       IF (Repeat prefix is REPZ or REPE) and (ZF = 0)
       or (Repeat prefix is REPNZ or REPNE) and (ZF = 1)
            THEN exit WHILE loop; FI;
  OD;

So CountReg is checked at the beginning and after each iteration.
Practically it will save us one return to a guest and exit back
to emulator at the end of rep instruction (not a big deal).
