during exception delivery itself.  The subsequent infinite stream
of exceptions causes the processor to never exit guest mode.

  KVM: x86: work around infinite loop in microcode when #AC is delivered

  KVM: svm: unconditionally intercept #DB
  KVM: x86: rename update_db_bp_intercept to update_bp_intercept
