I've tested it on master with:
- the reproducer
- x86 selftests
- criu

Some selftests are failing, but the same way as before the patch
(ITOW, it's not regression):
[root@...alhost self]# grep FAIL out 
[FAIL]	Reg 1 mismatch: requested 0x0; got 0x3
[FAIL]	Reg 15 mismatch: requested 0x8badf00d5aadc0de; got

[FAIL]	Reg 15 mismatch: requested 0x8badf00d5aadc0de; got

[FAIL]	R8 has changed:0000000000000000

[FAIL]	R10 has changed:0000000000000000
[FAIL]	R11 has changed:0000000000000000

I think, R8-R11 are not preserved yet in master?
Not quite sure about register mismatches :-/
Also ia32-criu has a fail, which I need to look into (but not a
regression).
