The kvm_emulate_xsetbv() has been removed from the emulator path.
I'm not really sure why it's not needed in the XSETBV vmexit case. More details ?

Nevermind, I confused AMD (where #UD is generated before checking for exceptions) with Intel where it's unconditional.

So the bug should be there since 2acf923e38 by executing XSETBV with CR4.XSAVE=0. If so, please include a testcase.
