[fix for patches applied in the wrong order to 4.1.y and 4.4.y
---
the change is part of 70e4da7a8ff62f2775337b705f45c804bb450454, which
is already in stable kernels 4.1.y to 4.4.y. this part of the fix
however was later undone, so remove the line again]
The following patches were applied in the wrong order in -stable. This
is the order as they appear in Linus' tree,
[0] commit 4e422bdd2f84 ("KVM: x86: fix missed hardware breakpoints")
[1] commit 172b2386ed16 ("KVM: x86: fix missed hardware breakpoints")
[2] commit 70e4da7a8ff6 ("KVM: x86: fix root cause for missed hardware breakpoints")
but this is the order for linux-4.4.y
[1] commit fc90441e728a ("KVM: x86: fix missed hardware breakpoints")
[2] commit 25e8618619a5 ("KVM: x86: fix root cause for missed hardware breakpoints")
[0] commit 0f6e5e26e68f ("KVM: x86: fix missed hardware breakpoints")
The upshot is that KVM_DEBUGREG_RELOAD is always set when returning
from kvm_arch_vcpu_load() in stable, but not in Linus' tree.
This happened because [0] and [1] are the same patch. [0] and [1] come from two
different merges, and the later merge is trivially resolved; when [2]
is applied it reverts both of them. Instead, when using the [1][2][0]
order, patches applies normally but "KVM: x86: fix missed hardware
breakpoints" is present in the final tree.

Hi Sasha,
yes, 4.1 is good. It's limited to 4.4.
