Never rely on the CPU to restore/load host DR0..DR3 values, even if the CPU supports DebugSwap, as there are no guarantees that SNP guests will actually enable DebugSwap on APs. E.g. if KVM were to rely on the CPU to load DR0..DR3 and skipped them during hw_breakpoint_restore(), KVM would run with clobbered-to-zero DRs if an SNP guest created APs without DebugSwap enabled. Update the comment to explain the dangers, and hopefully prevent breaking KVM in the future.

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 reStructuredText 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.
