This patch belongs in a different series, AFAICT there are no dependencies between
this and allowing per-vCPU disabling of exits.  Allowing userspace to exit on
"every" instruction exit is going to be much more controversial, largely because
it will be difficult for KVM to provide a consistent, robust ABI.  E.g. should
KVM exit to userspace if an intercepted instruction is encountered by the emualtor?

TL;DR: drop this patch from the next version.
