Subject: KVM: x86: fix missed hardware breakpoints
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4e422bdd2f849d98fffccbc3295c2f0996097fb3 upstream.
Sometimes when setting a breakpoint a process doesn't stop on it.
This is because the debug registers are not loaded correctly on
VCPU load.
The following simple reproducer from Oleg Nesterov tries using debug
registers in both the host and the guest, for example by running "./bp
0 1" on the host and "./bp 14 15" under QEMU.
