I am not sure this is a good idea. I have a feeling this may mess up 
fault reporting in case of double faults (e.g. see AMD volume 2 section 
15.2, Example paragraph).
Do you really need to save it into regs or can out pass exitinfo1 as 
error_code argument directly to vmport_gp_check()?

You probably want to call this only when 
__get_instruction_length_from_list() succeeded (i.e. instr_len >0)
What happens when you have a non-VMware-aware guest that performs this 
access? Prior to this patch it would get a #GP but now it will continue 
happily running, right? This changes user-visible behavior.
I wonder whether we should enable #GP intercepts only when we know that 
the guest is VMware-aware (which we do as far as I can tell since we 
have a config option).
