    fine grained control of REP emulation optimizations
    
    Previously, if vm_event emulation support was enabled, then REP
    optimizations were disabled when emulating REP-compatible
    instructions. This patch allows fine-tuning of this behaviour by
    providing a dedicated libxc helper function.
