I should be able to have something out later this week.  There is no
exit reason as Sean indicated, so if that's important it will have to
be reworked afterwards.  For struct internal in kvm_run I use data[0]
for flags to indicate what's contained in the rest of it, I use
data[1] as the instruction size, and I use data[2,3] to store the
instruction bytes.  Hope that helps.
