Just a quick review on the API:

I think it would make sense to define a flag bit for the PDPTRs, so that userspace can use KVM_SET_SREGS2 unconditionally (e.g. even when migrating from a source that uses KVM_GET_SREGS and therefore doesn't provide the PDPTRs).

+	__u64 pdptrs[4];
+	__u64 padding;

No need to add padding; if we add more fields in the future we can use the flags to determine the length of the userspace data, similar to KVM_GET/SET_NESTED_STATE.

SRCU should not be needed here?

+		if (!u.sregs2)

No need to account, I think it's a little slower and this allocation is very short lived.

 #define KVM_CAP_PPC_DAWR1 194
+#define KVM_CAP_SREGS2 196

195, not 196.

 #define KVM_XEN_VCPU_GET_ATTR	_IOWR(KVMIO, 0xca, struct kvm_xen_vcpu_attr)
 #define KVM_XEN_VCPU_SET_ATTR	_IOW(KVMIO,  0xcb, struct kvm_xen_vcpu_attr)
+
+#define KVM_GET_SREGS2             _IOR(KVMIO,  0xca, struct kvm_sregs2)
+#define KVM_SET_SREGS2             _IOW(KVMIO,  0xcb, struct kvm_sregs2)
+

It's not exactly overlapping, but please bump the ioctls to 0xcc/0xcd.
