I think there is a %dr7 handling issue here.  For an HVM guests, this
field is only valid when you are not in the context of the guest, as it
lives in the vmcs/vmcs.  (PV guests keep it synchronously up to date)

Normally, the vcpu context switch code takes care of calling
{vmx,svm}_{save,restore}_dr(), which is why migration works fine (not
permitted in the context of the guest), you are now introducing a new path.

I think you need to modify {vmx,svm}_{vmcb,vmcs}_save() to do a
selective {vmx,svm}_save_dr() if v == current.
