This patch belongs in a different series, AFAICT there are no dependencies between this and allowing per-vCPU disabling of exits. Allowing userspace to exit on "every" instruction exit is going to be much more controversial, largely because it will be difficult for KVM to provide a consistent, robust ABI. E.g. should KVM exit to userspace if an intercepted instruction is encountered by the emualtor?
TL;DR: drop this patch from the next version.
