I just wanted to resurrect that 'vm_bugged' idea but was waiting for a
good opportunity :-)

The advantage of KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR is that we're not trying to
invent some behavior which is not in SDM and making it a bit more likely
that we get a bug report from an angry user.

... and the same for handle_vmread, handle_vmwrite, handle_invept and
handle_invvpid as suggested by Paolo. I'll be sending this as v2 with
your Suggested-by: shortly.
