Oh handle_gcs, if kvm_has_gcs() && kvm_has_nv() -> Inject synchronous 
exception. Makes sense.

(it kept bothering me that the !gcs and the gcs case do the same thing, 
except for a warn_once. So I thougt on suggesting:

+       if (!kvm_has_gcs(vcpu->kvm))
+               goto inject_undef;
[...]
+       WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
+inject_undef:

But after it was done it did not look better.)
