That's not a good generic fix; it's just a peculiarity of x86 that we
get this particular problem.  If that hadn't been a multibyte opcode
something different would have happened.  I think just executing
another instruction here after the faulting one is enough to match the
kfail, whether it's the size of a breakpoint or not.
