GHCB spec says for IOIO_PROT (exit code 0x7b):

"SW_EXITINFO1 will be set as documented in AMD64 Architecture
Programmer’s Manual Volume 2: System Programming, Section 15.10.2"

That section has "Figure 15-2. EXITINFO1 for IOIO Intercept" where
[31:16] is the intercepted I/O port.

Now, insn->immediate.value is a union between a signed int and a
unsigned char bytes[4] array so in order to be absolutely correct, that
should use:

insn->immediate.bytes[0]

instead, to get the port byte only, before shifting it into [31:16]. The
(u64) cast doesn't matter because *exitinfo = 0 at function entry and
that is part of the first assignment afterwards.

I still don't see how that sign extension 0xffffffffffffffe0 can happen,
though. Maybe something gets added during instruction decoding...

Hmmm.
