I think keep it there still useful for some users. And we have the same report 
in handle_invalid_guest_state(), and we even have "emulation failure, check 
dmesg for details" in QEmu when handling KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION.

I think add one line here is the easiest way to keep consistence, and is 
handy.
