To avoid breaking the CPUs without bus lock detection, activate the
DR6_BUS_LOCK bit (bit 11) conditionally in DR6_FIXED_1 bits.

The set/clear of DR6_BUS_LOCK is similar to the DR6_RTM in DR6
register. The processor clears DR6_BUS_LOCK when bus lock debug
exception is generated. (For all other #DB the processor sets this bit
to 1.) Software #DB handler should set this bit before returning to the
interrupted task.

For VM exit caused by debug exception, bit 11 of the exit qualification
is set to indicate that a bus lock debug exception condition was
detected. The VMM should emulate the exception by clearing bit 11 of the
guest DR6.

Please rename DR6_INIT to DR6_ACTIVE_LOW, and then a lot of changes become simpler:

-        dr6 |= DR6_BD | DR6_RTM;
+        dr6 |= DR6_BD | DR6_RTM | DR6_BUS_LOCK;

dr6 |= DR6_BD | DR6_ACTIVE_LOW;

          ctxt->ops->set_dr(ctxt, 6, dr6);
          return emulate_db(ctxt);
      }

(with comments :))

and so on.

Thanks!

Will do the changes.

Thanks!
