Subject: [PATCH kvm-unit-tests] x86: test mov DR with ignored mod bits

Tests whether the emulator ignores the mod bits on mov DR instruction.  The
test performs regular mov to DR0 and reads back the data using custom mov from
DR0 while mod bits are set to zero. The expected result is obviously the value
which was written to DR0 before.

The test is performed in realmode and is only expected to fail if the CPU does
not support unrestricted mode. Note that mov-CR/DR in protected mode are
usually not handled by the emulator, as their data is available in the exit
information fields.
