I fixed this, by adding an extra argument to HVMTRACE_ND() -- it wasn't
really valid to make the first argument be an arbitarry C expression, due to
argument concatenation that then went on in the macro body.

I also discarded the change to the VMENTRY record to add the guest EIP.
Firstly, it was incomplete, because it did not handle 64-bit RIP. Secondly,
it does not logically belong in this patch. Finally, George may have a
reason for not including RIP in VMENTRY records (e.g., not that useful
compared with the extra space taken up in trace records). So you'd need to
submit a new patch and get an Ack from George (who is currently on holiday).
