[PATCH 1/9] KVM: x86: Mark VEX-prefix instructions emulation as unimplemented

[Nadav Amit]

Currently the emulator does not recognize vex-prefix instructions.  However, it
may incorrectly decode lgdt/lidt instructions and try to execute them. This
patch returns unhandlable error on their emulation.
