The only cases where we might end up emulating fsincos (as any other x87 operations without memory operands) are - when a HVM guest is in real mode (not applicable on AMD) - between two half page table updates in PAE mode (unlikely, and not doing the emulation here does affect only performance, not correctness) - when a guest maliciously (or erroneously) modifies an (MMIO or page table update) instruction under emulation (unspecified behavior) Hence, in order to avoid the erratum to cause harm to the entire host, don't emulate fsincos on the affected AMD CPU families.
