I looked at it a bit and it looks like the pdptr reading code takes
this lock because it accesses the memslots, which is not done here,
and therefore the lock is indeed not needed here.

I need to study in depth how locking is done in kvm to be 100% sure
about this.

Yes, SRCU protects reading the memslots (and therefore accessing guest memory).

195, not 196.

I am also planning to add KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG2 for which I
used 195.

Sounds good then.
