Nevertheless removing commits

	a92601bb707f6f49fd5563ef3d09928e70cc222e
	63995653ade16deacaea5b49ceaf6376314593ac
	6e154e56b4d7a6a28c54f0984e13d3f8defc4755

changes the eip value being pushed.  If you look at 
a92601bb707f6f49fd5563ef3d09928e70cc222e, you see:

        if (vmx->rmode.vm86_active) {
-               vmx->rmode.irq.pending = true;
-               vmx->rmode.irq.vector = nr;
-               vmx->rmode.irq.rip = kvm_rip_read(vcpu);
-               if (kvm_exception_is_soft(nr))
-                       vmx->rmode.irq.rip +=
-                               vmx->vcpu.arch.event_exit_inst_len;
-               intr_info |= INTR_TYPE_SOFT_INTR;
-               vmcs_write32(VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO_FIELD, intr_info);
-               vmcs_write32(VM_ENTRY_INSTRUCTION_LEN, 1);
-               kvm_rip_write(vcpu, vmx->rmode.irq.rip - 1);
+               if (kvm_inject_realmode_interrupt(vcpu, nr) != EMULATE_DONE)
+                       kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, vcpu);
                return;
        }

but kvm_inject_realmode_interrupt() does not appear to increment
vmx->rmode.irq.rip anywhere, as the code being replaced does.
