* x86_emulate_ops:
*
* These operations represent the instruction emulator's interface to memory.
* There are two categories of operation: those that act on ordinary memory
* regions (*_std), and those that act on memory regions known to require
* special treatment or emulation (*_emulated).
*
* The emulator assumes that an instruction accesses only one 'emulated memory'
* location, that this location is the given linear faulting address (cr2), and
* that this is one of the instruction's data operands. Instruction fetches and
* stack operations are assumed never to access emulated memory. The emulator
* automatically deduces which operand of a string-move operation is accessing
* emulated memory, and assumes that the other operand accesses normal memory.
*
* NOTES:
* 1. The emulator isn't very smart about emulated vs. standard memory.
* 'Emulated memory' access addresses should be checked for sanity.
* 'Normal memory' accesses may fault, and the caller must arrange to
* detect and handle reentrancy into the emulator via recursive faults.
* Accesses may be unaligned and may cross page boundaries.
* 2. If the access fails (cannot emulate, or a standard access faults) then
* it is up to the memop to propagate the fault to the guest VM via
* some out-of-band mechanism, unknown to the emulator. The memop signals
* failure by returning X86EMUL_PROPAGATE_FAULT to the emulator, which will
* then immediately bail.
* 3. Valid access sizes are 1, 2, 4 and 8 bytes. On x86/32 systems only
* cmpxchg8b_emulated need support 8-byte accesses.
* 4. The emulator cannot handle 64-bit mode emulation on an x86/32 system.

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
