The code being executed in KVM_GUEST_MODE_SKIP is hypervisor code with
MSR[IR]=0, so the faults of concern are the d-side ones caused by access
to guest context by the hypervisor.

Instruction breakpoint interrupts are not a concern here. It's unlikely
any good would come of causing breaks in this code, but skipping the
instruction that caused it won't help matters (e.g., skip the mtmsr that
sets MSR[DR]=0 or clears KVM_GUEST_MODE_SKIP).
