The kprobe enablement work has uncovered that changes made by
a guest to MDSCR_EL1 were propagated to the host when VHE was
enabled, leading to unexpected exception being delivered.

Moving this register to the list of registers that are always
context-switched fixes the issue.

I would take this patch to 4.7 directly through the main tree.
Are your plans different?  

If you're happy to take it now, that works for me.  

The fix is clear, tested, and would go to 4.7.stable.  Better to have it
in 4.7, IMO.

Agreed.

PR right away, or you can apply it directly, whichever works best for
you.  

It is just one patch so I'll apply it and send a pull request to Linus
on Saturday;  less cummulative work that way. :)

Brilliant. Thanks Radim.
