Subject: [PATCH v2 8/8] KVM: x86: Bug the VM on an out-of-bounds data read

Bug the VM and terminate emulation if an out-of-bounds read into the
emulator's data cache occurs.  Knowingly contuining on all but guarantees
that KVM will overwrite random kernel data, which is far, far worse than
killing the VM.
