KVM: x86: Suppress code #DBs on Intel if MOV/POP SS blocking is active

Browse source

Suppress code breakpoints if MOV/POP SS blocking is active and the guest
CPU is Intel, i.e. if the guest thinks it's running on an Intel CPU.
Intel CPUs inhibit code #DBs when MOV/POP SS blocking is active, whereas
AMD (and its descendents) do not.
