... Except not requiring a buggy instruction emulator.
Traps and MOVSS shadowing (and any other temporary state after an instruction pointer increment) are very complex/bug prone, and I kinda wish x86 weren't so willing to keep adding these in (recent additions that come to mind being MTF and PEBS).
