and forgot to mention a change different from above. It's in x86
common exit path but above is vmx specific check. I'm not sure
whether it's worthy of introducing another kvm_x86_ops callback
just for this minor usage.

Introducing an extra flag (e.g. vcpu->arch.xfd_disable_interception)
sounds simpler here.

Thanks
