Applying this logic:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c b/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c
index ec8366c..b5e994a 100644
--- a/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c
+++ b/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c
@@ -1462,6 +1462,7 @@ static void svm_get_segment(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
 		 */
 		if (var->unusable)
 			var->db = 0;
+		var->dpl = to_svm(vcpu)->vmcb->save.cpl;
 		break;
 	}
 }

...and my VM runs smoothly so far. Does it make sense in all scenarios?
