Is there actually a use case for this? Exposing port IO to userspace doesn't exactly improve security. Given that i386 ABI requires EFLAGS.DF=0 upon function entry/exit, i.e. is the de facto default, the DF bug implies this hasn't been tested. And I don't see how this could possibly have worked for SEV given that the kernel unrolls string I/O because the VMM can't emulate string I/O. Presumably someone would have complained if they "needed" to run legacy crud. The host and guest obviously need major updates, so supporting e.g. DPDK with legacy virtio seems rather silly.

Batching the memory accesses and I/O accesses separately is technically wrong, e.g. a #DB on a memory access will result in bogus data being shown in the debugger. In practice it seems unlikely to matter, but I'm curious as to why string I/O is supported in the first place. I didn't think there was that much string I/O in the kernel?True, #DBs won't be correct anymore. Currently debugging is not supported in SEV-ES guests anyway, but if it is supported the #DB exception would happen in the #VC handler and not on the original instruction.
As in, the guest can't debug itself? Or the host can't debug the guest?
