I noticed also a call to cpu_load_efer() in gdbstub.c,

                 cpu_load_efer(env, ldq_p(mem_buf));

             cpu_load_efer(env, ldl_p(mem_buf));
             return 4;

         }

Should this somehow restricted for user-mode, as it has the potential to set 
HF_SVME ?

Yeah, it should.  Likewise for CR0/CR2/CR3/TPR.  Nice catch!
