Register reads can also trigger the unclaimed register error. Don't
you want to also record the last one we read on each CPU too?

Also, just to remind you since you seem to be debugging something:
user space programs (such as intel_reg_dumper or anything else) and
other Kernel modules (like vgacon and others) can also trigger these
errors, and we can't easily catch these cases.

Pinging Chris since he always has some ideas about this code.
