KVM: x86: Open code all direct reads to guest DR6 and DR7
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.
