Sorry about that.  I now have with this version:

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 09:14:39 +0100
Subject: KVM: svm: unconditionally intercept #DB

commit cbdb967af3d54993f5814f1cee0ed311a055377d upstream.

This is needed to avoid the possibility that the guest triggers
an infinite stream of #DB exceptions (CVE-2015-8104).

VMX is not affected: because it does not save DR6 in the VMCS,
it already intercepts #DB unconditionally.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2, with thanks to Paolo:
Â- update_db_bp_intercept() was called update_db_intercept()
Â- The remaining call is in svm_guest_debug() rather than through svm_x86_ops]

This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.
