We import the CPL via SS.DPL since ae9fedc793. However, we fail to
export it this way so far. This caused spurious guest crashes, e.g. of
Linux when accessing the vmport from guest user space which triggered
register saving/restoring to/from host user space.

Thanks. In theory this is not necessary, the SS.DPL should be the same as the CPL according to the manuals (the manual say that the SS.DPL "should match" the CPL, and that's the only reason why I included the import in ae9fedc793). But apparently this is not the case.
