Deferring emulation failure handling (in some cases) to the caller of x86_emulate_instruction() has proven fragile, e.g. multiple instances of KVM not setting run->exit_reason on EMULATE_FAIL, largely due to it being difficult to discern what emulation types can return what result, and which combination of types and results are handled where. Now that x86_emulate_instruction() always handles emulation failure, i.e. EMULATION_FAIL is only referenced in callers, remove the emulation_result enums entirely. Per KVM's existing exit handling conventions, return '0' and '1' for "exit to userspace" and "resume guest" respectively. Doing so cleans up many callers, e.g. they can return kvm_emulate_instruction() directly instead of having to interpret its result.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
