Yes and unfortunately AMD does not like to inject a non-existing
exception.  Intel only requires the vector to be <=31, but AMD wants the
vector to correspond to an exception.

However, software injection is always possible and AMD even suggests
that you use software injection for ICEBP and, on older processors, the
INT instruction.
