Despite what the svm_update_soft_interrupt_rip() name might suggest this
handles only *soft exceptions*, not *soft interrupts*
(which are injected by svm_inject_irq() and also need proper next_rip
management).

Also, I'm not sure that even the proposed updated code above will
actually restore the L1-requested next_rip correctly on L1 -> L2
re-injection (will review once the full version is available).

Thanks,
Maciej
