KVM recently started emulating DIV and IDIV. However, those instructions trap when given the right operands. Since figuring out when to trap or not is difficult, we just execute the instruction and see if the processor trapped or not.
tip: please queue the first patch on fast-forward-only branch kvm.git can merge, or we can carry the patch in kvm.git with your ack.
