Hi Jidong, no this is not fixed yet.  Basically OUT instructions are emulated
by KVM, and support for single-stepping and breakpoints in the emulator is
quite minimal.

3.12 added some support but OUTs and writes to memory are still broken:

    KVM: x86: add comments where MMIO does not return to the emulator

    Support for single-step in the emulator (new in 3.12) does not work for
    MMIO or PIO writes, because they are completed without returning to
    the emulator.  This is not worse than what we had in 3.11; still, add
    comments so that the issue is not forgotten.
