The splat occurs due to a longstanding (literally since KVM's inception) shortcoming
in KVM's uAPI.  On an emulated MMIO write, KVM finishes the instruction before
exiting to userspace.  This is necessary given how KVM's uAPI works, as outside
of REP string instructions, KVM doesn't provide a way to restart an instruction
that partially completed before the MMIO was encountered.

For the vast majority of _emulated_ instructions, this doesn't cause problems as
there is a single memory accesses, i.e. any exceptions on the instruction will
occur _before_ the MMIO write.

What's happening here is that a PUSHA triggers an MMIO write and then runs past
the segment limit, resulting in a #SS after the MMIO is queued.  KVM injects the
#SS (well, tries to) and thus loses track of the MMIO, but never clears mmio_needed.

There's a second bug here that results in failed VM-Enter when KVM tries to inject
the #SS: KVM doesn't ignore drop error code when the vCPU is in Real Mode.  This
too is a longstanding bug that has likely escaped notice because no real work code
runs in Real Mode _and_ gracefully handles exceptions.

My plan, pending testing, is to suppress the MMIO write + exception scenario since
the bug has been around for 15+ years without anyone noticing, let alone caring.
Fixing it properly would be a heck of a lot of complexity and code churn for no
real benefit.

And for the Real Mode exception bug, unless I'm missing something, the error code
can simply be suppressed when queueing the exception.
