This should probably have a comment, the 'if (rc)' looks so wrong at first
glance. Maybe not the best suggestion on my part...

Alternatively, this sequence is more obvious and at worst adds a few bytes
to the code footprint.

if (ret == EINVAL) {
kvm_inject_gp(&svm->vcpu, 0);
return 1;
} else if (ret) {
return kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(&svm->vcpu);
}

ret = kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(&svm->vcpu);
