(before I send v1 of the series) I looked at the current code and I
don't think it is enforced, however, VMX version does the same and
honestly I can't think of a situation when we would be doing 'skip' for
such an instruction.... and there's nothing we can easily enforce from
skip_emulated_instruction() as we have no idea what the instruction
is...
I can of course be totally wrong and would appreciate if someone more
knowledgeable chimes in :-)
