The maximum instruction length for both x86-32 and
x86-64 is 15 bytes (including all prefixes, opcode,
ModRM, SIB, displacement, and immediate bytes).
This patch adjusts the MAX_INST_LEN to the correct
value.  This should reduce the size of some variables
in the hypervisor code.  This patch also does some
minor code clean-up in the vm exit handler for VMX.

This patch should apply cleanly to hg tip 9594.
Thanks.
