Bite the bullet, and open code all direct reads of DR6 and DR7. KVM currently has a mix of open coded accesses and calls to kvm_get_dr(), which is confusing and ugly because there's no rhyme or reason as to why any particular chunk of code uses kvm_get_dr(). The obvious alternative is to force all accesses through kvm_get_dr(), but it's not at all clear that doing so would be a net positive, e.g. even if KVM ends up wanting/needing to force all reads through a common helper, e.g. to play caching games, the cost of reverting this change is likely lower than the ongoing cost of maintaining weird, arbitrary code. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
