This repeats, how about using complete_insn_gp()?
Do you want this to be in x86.c? We could use kvm_x86_ops->skip_emulated_instruction. Also shall I look for more similarities in the [CD]R intercept handling code between VMX and SVM? The switch responsible for actually reading and writing the regs is very similar. I could also try to merge this with the functionality in the emulator (if that works, haven't checked)
