ICEBP really is too broken under SVM to handle architecturally.

The ICEBP intercept has nRIP decode support, because it is an
instruction intercept.  We emulate the injection (because it is ICEBP),
which means we re-enter the guest with %rip moved forward, and #DB
(HW_EXCEPTION) pending for injection.  This means that...

... the ICEBP-#DB-vectored TASK_SWITCH will now find %rip pointing after
the ICEBP instruction, rather than at it, making it consistent with
every other #DB-vectored TASK_SWITCH.

This does means that an early task-switch fault for ICEBP will reliably
be delivered with the wrong (i.e. trap) semantics, but this is less bad
than mixed fault/trap semantics depending on whether the source of the
ICEBP was introspection/emulation or native execution.

We could restore proper fault behaviour by extending
svm_emul_swint_injection() to figure out that a task switch is needed,
and invoke hvm_task_switch() directly, but I don't have enough TUITS
right now.

I hope this clears it up.
