Desc: This interrupt is generated when the CPU attempts to execute an invalid opcode (most protected-mode instructions are considered invalid in real mode) or a BOUND, LDS, LES, or LIDT instruction which specifies a register rather than a memory address
Notes: Return address points to beginning of invalid instruction. With proper programming, this interrupt may be used to emulate instructions which do not exist; many 386 BIOSes emulate the 80286 undocumented LOADALL instruction which was removed from the 80386+. Generated by the 80386+ when the LOCK prefix is used with instructions other than BTS, BTR, BTC, XCHG, XADD (486), CMPXCHG (486), INC, DEC, NOT, NEG, ADD, ADC, SUB, SBB, AND, OR, or XOR, or any instruction not accessing memory.
