This patch injects page fault when reading descriptor in
load_guest_segment_descriptor() fails with FAULT.

Effects of this injection: This function is used by
kvm_load_segment_descriptor() which is necessary for the
following instructions.
  - mov seg,r/m16
  - jmp far
  - pop ?s
This patch makes it possible to emulate the page faults
generated by these instructions. But be sure that unless
we change the kvm_load_segment_descriptor()'s ret value
propagation this patch has no effect.

If the descriptor table is not aligned, and a descriptor spans two pages, then we might need to inject a page fault at some other address.

Also, the injection should be done in kvm_read_guest_virt() to avoid duplicating code.

These instructions however are only emulated in big real mode. Where did you encounter the need to inject page faults during their emulation?
