On #UD, x86_emulate_instruction() fetches the data from guest memory and decodes the instruction bytes to assist further. When SEV is enabled, the instruction bytes will be encrypted using the guest-specific key, hypervisor will no longer able to fetch the instruction bytes to assist UD handling. By not installing intercept we let the guest receive and handle #UD.
