VMRUN stores the IP which is used to return to the instruction after the VMRUN in case of a VMEXIT. Due to recent changes, this does not happen anymore and a VMEXIT simply returns to the VMRUN instruction.

The open-coded + 3 bothers me. Are there any circumstances that a prefix could be used with vmrun that would change the instruction length? vmrun doesn't appear to be affected by prefixes but I don't see anything in the AMD manual specifically forbidding it.
