Rereading my own code, I think it would be a good idea to add a comment here
explaining that injecting #UD is technically wrong, but avoids giving guest
userspace an easy way to DoS the guest.  The EPT misconfig is a good example;
guest userspace could have executed a simple MOV <reg>, <mem> instruction, in
which case injecting a #UD is bizarre behavior.  But, the alternative is exiting
to userspace with KVM_INTERNAL_ERROR_EMULATION, which is all but guaranteed to
kill the guest.

If KVM, specifically handle_emulation_failure(), ever gains a more sophisticated
mechanism for handling userspace emulation errors, this should be updated too.

	/*
	 * Emulation of instructions in SGX enclaves is impossible as RIP does
	 * not point  tthe failing instruction, and even if it did, the code
	 * stream is inaccessible.  Inject #UD instead of exiting to userspace
	 * so that guest userspace can't DoS the guest simply by triggering
	 * emulation (enclaves are CPL3 only).
	 */
Agreed. Will add above comment.
