Instead of injecting real-mode interrupts by writing the interrupt frame into
guest memory, abuse vmx by injecting a software interrupt.  We need to
pretend the software interrupt instruction had a length > 0, so we have to
adjust rip backward.

This lets us not to mess with writing guest memory, which is complex and also
sleeps.
