    x86emul: work around SandyBridge errata
    
    There are a number of exception condition related errata on SandyBridge
    CPUs, some of which are unexpected #UD (others, of no interest here, are
    lack of mandated exceptions, or exceptions of unexpected type). Annotate
    the one workaround we already have, and add two more.
    
    Due to the exception recovery we have in place for stub invocations
    these aren't security issues.
