This flag is always passed so this check if superfluous. Perhaps change
`int flags` to `bool instruction_bytes` and have it control only whether
the instruction bytes are populated.

Should kvm_task_switch and kvm_handle_memory_failure also be updated
like this?

Please document what this field contains, especially since its contents
depend on AMD versus Intel.
