Is there any reason not to do kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() for both SEV
and legacy?  VMX has the same odd kvm_emulate_instruction() call, but AFAICT
that's completely unecessary, i.e. VMX can also convert to a straight skip.

You could, I just figured I'd leave the legacy behavior just in case. Not
that I can think of a reason that behavior would ever change.

Yeah, let's do skip for both SVM and VMX.

Ok, I'll submit a two patch series to change SVM and VMX. I'll do two patches because of the fixes tag to get the SVM fix back to stable. But, if you would prefer a single patch, let me know.

Thanks,
Tom
