Jim, 

This is due to using "unsigned long data" for kvm_dr7_valid() along with
"return !(data >> 32);" to check for bits being set in 63:32.  Any
objection to fixing the issue by making @data a u64?  Part of me thinks
that's the proper behavior anyways, i.e. the helper is purely a reflection
of the architectural requirements, the caller is responsible for dropping
bits appropriately based on the current mode.
