    x86/HVM: don't retain emulated insn cache when exiting back to guest
    
    vio->mmio_retry is being set when a repeated string insn is being split
    up. In that case we'll exit to the guest, expecting immediate re-entry.
    Interruptions, however, may be serviced by the guest before re-entry
    from the repeated string insn. Any emulation needed in the course of
    handling the interruption must not fetch from the internally maintained
    cache.
