Antoine,
Works for me with master branch. Its likely this commit fixed it:
commit 76d4622776d007de3f90f311591babc5f6ba6f39

KVM: VMX: Check cpl before emulating debug register access
Debug registers may only be accessed from cpl 0. Unfortunately, vmx will
code to emulate the instruction even though it was issued from guest
userspace, possibly leading to an unexpected trap later.
It will be included in 2.6.30 / 2.6.27 stable (.29 is not maintained
anymore).
