If so , my question: is there other special cases similar to task switch which can break patch 4?
I don't think so. CPL can only change when SS is loaded, i.e. for inter-privilege transfers that aren't far calls or far jumps to a conforming code segment.
I count only three such cases (protected mode int, protected mode iret, call gate), none of which is implemented in the KVM emulator. In fact, the emulator doesn't implement task gates either---luckily all information about the destination task is provided by the processor in the VMCB or VMCS.
