Decode Xen and KVM's emulate-prefix signature by x86 insn decoder. It is called "prefix" but actually not x86 instruction prefix, so this adds insn.emulate_prefix_size field instead of reusing insn.prefixes. If x86 decoder finds a special sequence of instructions of XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX and 'ud2a; .ascii "kvm"', it just counts the length, set insn.emulate_prefix_size and fold it with the next instruction. In other words, the signature and the next instruction is treated as a single instruction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
