The reproducer (not a full test case) is quite simple, see patch below.

Now, I've noticed something interesting when running the
reproducer:

If the test_fetch_failure() call happens before we touch
pci-testdev through *mem (like in the patch below), we get an
emulation failure like the one Yanan saw:

$ /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -device pc-testdev -device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x4 -vnc none -serial stdio -device pci-testdev -machine accel=kvm -kernel ./x86/emulator.flat # -initrd /tmp/tmp.RCPjppRp8i

but if I call test_fetch_failure() after touching *mem, like this:

Also, if I run the reproducer using ept=0, it gets stuck into a
loop re-entering the same "in (%dx),%al" instruction over and
over again. trace-cmd report output:
