So far we synchronized any dirty VCPU state back into the kernel before

kernels before 2.6.33. But as this is an arch-dependent issue, it is
better handle in the x86 part of KVM and remove the writeback point for
generic code. This also avoids overwriting the flushed state later on if
user space decides to change some more registers before resuming the
guest.

Inferring one property of kvm.ko from another is not good, since it creates problems with backports. Better to create a separate KVM_CAP_ for the issue you're testing (and we can retroactively apply it to 2.6.33).
