Nicola is new to the codebase, so let us help.

This patch adds deviations for these SVM functions:
- svm_intr_assist
- nsvm_vcpu_switch
- svm_vmenter_helper
- svm_vmexit_handler

I take these are the VMX equivalents:
- vmx_intr_assist
- nvmx_switch_guest
- vmx_vmenter_helper
- vmx_asm_vmexit_handler

Jan, did I miss anything?
