This is not enough, because the RSP value must match what is computed at
this place:

        /* Adjust RSP to account for the CALL to vmx_vmenter(). */
        lea -WORD_SIZE(%_ASM_SP), %_ASM_ARG2
        call vmx_update_host_rsp

Is this important since kvm_spurious_fault is just BUG()?  There is no
macro currently to support CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE in assembly code, but
it's also fine if you just change the call to ud2.
