+Illegal Instruction with HVF when encountering SSE instructions in the emulator
+
+The latest version of QEMU doesn't seem to support emulated SSE instructions with HVF acceleration on macOS.
+The decoder will treat SSE instructions as invalid, get the instruction sizes wrong and quickly crash the guest OS because of illegal instructions.
+After having a quick look at target/i386/hvf/x86_decode.c, it seems that SSE instruction emulation isn't implemented in the current version of the x86 emulator.
+
+A way to reproduce the issue is to run a macOS 10.13 guest with HVF acceleration enabled, this will crash once it's loading up the GUI.
