FYI, the latest Intel SDM does have UD0 and UD1.

I guess AMD64 and hypervisors don't need to know about it, since if they
don't, it will still trigger the same invalid opcode exception anyway?

Any idea what the functional difference is between UD0 and UD2?

That's too bad, which emulators are those?

It shows up as "(bad)" in objtool and gdb, though it still gets the
length right:

  8b9:       0f ff                   (bad)  

It would be nice if the tools knew about it...
