Are only AMD boxes affected, or did you also test on Intel?

I still have one debug register oddity on my todo list (that one causes
an unhandled VM exit), but I'm not aware of such an issue nor do I
remember any patch between 2.6.31.x and now at the moment that may have
fixed it. Nevertheless, could you retry with latest kvm kernel or a
recent kvm-kmod release?
