Pivoting on ip==0 isn't correct, it's perfectly legal for a guest to execute
from %rip=0.  Unless there's some static_call() magic that supports this with a
default function:
	
	if (unlikely(!static_call(x86_guest_get_ip)(&ip)))
		regs->ip + code_segment_base(regs)

	return ip;

The easiest thing is keep the existing:

	if (unlikely(static_call(x86_guest_state)()))
		return static_call(x86_guest_get_ip)();

	return regs->ip + code_segment_base(regs);

It's an extra call for PMIs in guest, but I don't think any of the KVM folks care
_that_ much about the performance in this case.
