From: Oliver Upton <oupton@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 307f1cfa269657c63cfe2c932386fcc24684d9dd upstream. KVM defines the #DB payload as compatible with the 'pending debug exceptions' field under VMX, not DR6. Mask off bit 12 when applying the payload to DR6, as it is reserved on DR6 but not the 'pending debug exceptions' field.
