Hm, EXCPT_TRAP is either #OF, #BP, or another #DB, none of which we want
to override.  The first two disable TF and the last one is the same as
its fault variant must take other path, so it works out in the end...

I've fixed the RF in commit message when applying, thanks.

We still seem to have at least a minor problem with single stepping:

SDM, Interrupt 1—Debug Exception (#DB):

  The following items detail the treatment of debug exceptions on the
  instruction boundary following execution of the MOV or the POP
  instruction that loads the SS register:
    • If EFLAGS.TF is 1, no single-step trap is generated.

I think a check for KVM_X86_SHADOW_INT_MOV_SS in
kvm_vcpu_do_singlestep() is missing.
