Can you give an example? When reviewing your patch I was aware of this, but
actually thought we do want to know when this happens, since the kernel did
something which causes such bits to be set; e.g. single stepping with PER
on the sie instruction. If that happens then such program interruptions
should not be passed for kvm handling, since that would indicate a host
kernel bug (the sie instruction is not allowed to be single stepped).

Or in other words: this should never happen. Of course I might have missed
something; so when could this happen where this is not a bug and the bits
should be ignored?
