+ * EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE - Set when re-emulating an instruction (after completing
+ * userspace I/O) to indicate that the emulation context
+ * should be resued as is, i.e. skip initialization of
+ * emulation context, instruction fetch and decode.
+ *
+ * EMULTYPE_TRAP_UD - Set when emulating an intercepted #UD from hardware.
+ * Indicates that only select instructions (tagged with
+ * EmulateOnUD) should be emulated (to minimize the emulator
+ * attack surface). See also EMULTYPE_TRAP_UD_FORCED.
+ *
+ * EMULTYPE_SKIP - Set when emulating solely to skip an instruction, i.e. to
+ * decode the instruction length. For use *only* by
+ * kvm_x86_ops->skip_emulated_instruction() implementations.
+ *
+ * EMULTYPE_ALLOW_RETRY - Set when the emulator should resume the guest to
+ * retry native execution under certain conditions.
+ *
+ * EMULTYPE_TRAP_UD_FORCED - Set when emulating an intercepted #UD that was
+ * triggered by KVM's magic "force emulation" prefix,
+ * which is opt in via module param (off by default).
+ * Bypasses EmulateOnUD restriction despite emulating
+ * due to an intercepted #UD (see EMULTYPE_TRAP_UD).
+ * Used to test the full emulator from userspace.
+ *
+ * EMULTYPE_VMWARE_GP - Set when emulating an intercepted #GP for VMware
+ * backdoor emulation, which is opt in via module param.
+ * VMware backoor emulation handles select instructions
+ * and reinjects the #GP for all other cases.
