Access to VMware backdoor ports is done by one of the IN/OUT/INS/OUTS instructions. These ports must be allowed access even if TSS I/O permission bitmap don't allow it. To handle this, VMX/SVM will be changed in future commits to intercept #GP which was raised by such access and handle it by calling x86 emulator to emulate instruction. If it was one of these instructions, the x86 emulator already handles it correctly (Since commit "KVM: x86: Always allow access to VMware backdoor I/O ports") by not checking these ports against TSS I/O permission bitmap. One may wonder why checking for specific instructions is necessary as we can just forward all #GPs to the x86 emulator. There are multiple reasons for doing so: 1. We don't want the x86 emulator to be reached easily by guest by just executing an instruction that raises #GP as that exposes the x86 emulator as a bigger attack surface. 2. The x86 emulator is incomplete and therefore certain instructions that can cause #GP cannot be emulated. Such an example is "INT x" (opcode 0xcd) which reaches emulate_int() which can only emulate the instruction if vCPU is in real-mode.
