You forgot to mention that you inlined the call to emulator_pio_out_emulated/emulator_pio_in_emulated.

^^ This is a very good comment to have here!

I wonder what the rules are for clearing vcpu->arch.pio.count for userspace PIO vm exits.
Looks like complete_fast_pio_out clears it, but otherwise the only other place
that clears it in this case is x86_emulate_instruction when it restarts the instuction.
Do I miss something?

Looks OK to me, I might have missed something though.
