Extend force_emulation_prefix to an 'int' and use bit 1 as a flag to indicate that KVM should clear RFLAGS.RF before emulating, e.g. to allow tests to force emulation of code breakpoints in conjunction with MOV/POP SS blocking, which is impossible without KVM intervention as VMX unconditionally sets RFLAGS.RF on intercepted #UD. Make the behavior controllable so that tests can also test RFLAGS.RF=1 (again in conjunction with code #DBs). Note, clearing RFLAGS.RF won't create an infinite #DB loop as the guest's IRET from the #DB handler will return to the instruction and not the prefix, i.e. the restart won't force emulation. Opportunistically convert the permissions to the preferred octal format.

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.
