    ms/KVM: x86: Add emulation_type to not raise #UD on emulation failure
    
    Next commits are going introduce support for accessing VMware backdoor
    ports even though guest's TSS I/O permissions bitmap doesn't allow
    access. This mimic VMware hypervisor behavior.
    
    In order to support this, next commits will change VMX/SVM to
    intercept #GP which was raised by such access and handle it by calling
    the x86 emulator to emulate instruction. Since commit "KVM: x86:
    Always allow access to VMware backdoor I/O ports", the x86 emulator
    handles access to these I/O ports by not checking these ports against
    the TSS I/O permission bitmap.
    
    However, there could be cases that CPU rasies a #GP on instruction
    that fails to be disassembled by the x86 emulator (Because of
    incomplete implementation for example).
    
    In those cases, we would like the #GP intercept to just forward #GP
    as-is to guest as if there was no intercept to begin with.
    However, current emulator code always queues #UD exception in case
    emulator fails (including disassembly failures) which is not what is
    wanted in this flow.
    
    This commit addresses this issue by adding a new emulation_type flag
    that will allow the #GP intercept handler to specify that it wishes
    to be aware when instruction emulation fails and doesn't want #UD
    exception to be queued.
