[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] Fix real mode guest segments dpl value in savevm

[Orit Wasserman]

Older KVM version put invalid value in the segments registers dpl field for
real mode guests (0x3).
This breaks migration from those hosts to hosts with unrestricted guest support.
We detect it by checking CS dpl value for real mode guest and fix the dpl values
of all the segment registers.
