Applied, but I want you guys to know that the vmx mmio decoder is ultimately going to be replaced by x86_emulate.c (a copy of which will be compiled into both Xen and into qemu-dm). I think MOVSX is the first extension you've applied that isn't currently supported by x86_emulate.c; the other numerous decoder extensions could have been avoided by using the emulator that already existed in Xen.
