Hi.

While qemu's behaviour matches what one would expect from reading
the docs, it does not match what I'm seeing on h/w.
Can anyone else confirm what the correct behaviour is here?

---

The syscall and sysret instructions behave a bit differently:
TF is checked after the instruction completes.
This allows the o/s to disable #DB at a syscall by adding TF to FMASK.
And then when the sysret is executed the #DB is taken "as if" the
syscall insn just completed.
