KVM: x86: Omit VCPU_REGS_RIP from emulator's _regs array
Omit RIP from the emulator's _regs array, which is used only for GPRs, i.e. registers that can be referenced via ModRM and/or SIB bytes. The emulator uses the dedicated _eip field for RIP, and manually reads from _eip to handle RIP-relative addressing. To avoid an even bigger, slightly more dangerous change, hardcode the number of GPRs to 16 for the time being even though 32-bit KVM's emulator technically should only have 8 GPRs. Add a TODO to address that in a future commit. See also the comments above the read_gpr() and write_gpr() declarations, and obviously the handling in writeback_registers(). No functional change intended.
