VMCALL and VMFUNC are both VMX instructions. VMMCALL (count the M's -
yes it is a different instruction) is SVM, and I forgot VMGEXIT from the
list yesterday which is also SVM.

However, searching for them is probably not helpful. They are all
guest-only instructions and you wouldn't expect to see them in
hypervisor code.
