    x86/emul: Always use fault semantics for software events
    
    The common case is already using fault semantics out of x86_emulate(), as 
that
    is how VT-x/SVM expects to inject the event (given suitable hardware 
support).
    
    However, x86_emulate() returning X86EMUL_EXCEPTION and also completing a
    register writeback is problematic for callers.
    
    Switch the logic to always using fault semantics, and leave 
svm_inject_trap()
    to fix up %eip if necessary.
