Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] x86: KVM: svm: get rid of hardcoded instructions lengths

Changes since v1:
- Clear interrupt shadow in x86_emulate_instruction() instead of SVM's
  skip_emulated_instruction() to generalize the fix [Sean Christopherson]

Original description:

Jim rightfully complains that hardcoding instuctions lengths is not always
correct: additional (redundant) prefixes can be used. Luckily, the ugliness
is mostly harmless: modern AMD CPUs support NRIP_SAVE feature but I'd like
to clean things up and sacrifice speed in favor of correctness.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (5):
  x86: KVM: svm: don't pretend to advance RIP in case
    wrmsr_interception() results in #GP
  x86: KVM: svm: avoid flooding logs when skip_emulated_instruction()
    fails
  x86: KVM: clear interrupt shadow on EMULTYPE_SKIP
  x86: KVM: add xsetbv to the emulator
  x86: KVM: svm: remove hardcoded instruction length from intercepts
