This isn't broken in the current code, but it's flawed in the sense that
it assumes skip_emulated_instruction() never returns EMULATE_USER_EXIT.

Note, both SVM and VMX make the opposite assumption when handling
kvm_task_switch() and kvm_inject_realmode_interrupt().

x86_emulate_instruction() doesn't set vcpu->run->exit_reason when emulation
fails with EMULTYPE_SKIP, i.e. this will exit to userspace with garbage in
the exit_reason.

handle_ept_misconfig() also has the same (pre-existing) flaw.

Given the handle_ept_misconfig() bug and that kvm_emulate_instruction()
sets vcpu->run->exit_reason when it returns EMULATE_FAIL in the normal
case, I think it makes sense to fix the issue in x86_emulate_instruction().
That would also eliminate the need to worry about EMULATE_USER_EXIT in
task_switch_interception(), e.g. the SVM code can just return 0 when it
gets a non-EMULATE_DONE return type.

As for the kvm_task_switch() handling and other cases, I think it's
possible to rework all of the functions and callers that return/handle
EMULATE_DONE to instead return 0/1, i.e. contain EMULATE_* to x86.c.
I'll put together a series, I think you've suffered more than enough scope
creep as it is :-)
