If the whole body inside if-statement is moved out, do you expect the
interface of x86_emulate_decoded_instruction to be something like:

int x86_emulate_decoded_instruction(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
gpa_t cr2_or_gpa,
int emulation_type, void *insn,
int insn_len,
bool write_fault_to_spt)

And if so, what is the emulation type to use when calling this function
from svm.c? EMULTYPE_VMWARE_GP?
