Based on observations on a fair range of hardware from both primary
vendors even zero-iteration-count instances of these insns perform the
port related permission checking first.

Partly RFC for this not being documented anywhere; inquiry pending.

The referenced commit is still not really the one, but before it REP
handling was so broken that I didn't want to go hunt further.
