Do any of the flags you're now allowing to save and restore actually need to have side-effects implemented? |

POPF
FEX executes in CPL=3 with IOCPL < CPL.
Per the Intel Manual entry for
POPF/POPFD/POPFQthis then means that the flags should be updated the following way:I.e.,
VIP, VIF, VM, IOPL, IFshould remain unchanged andRFcleared to zero.For the case the instruction operates on 16bit also the
ID, ACflags need to be preserved.PUSHF
Furthermore, also per the SDM,
VM, RFneed to be cleared to zero forPUSHF.This PR, preserves and clears the aforementioned flags and also adds a unittest.
