Yeah, the general principle is just to not log duplicate information,
or information which can be inferred. VMENTRY logs happen a *lot*,
and so a small change has a non-negligible impact on trace size. To
this point, I haven't needed the RIP on VMENTRY, since having it on
VMEXIT is generally sufficient.

Can't you get this information from looking at the RIP on the
corresponding VMEXIT?
