    initial v1  
    33It seems increasing the VCPU count really helps because it seems to drastically increase the chance of the VMM exiting to ring-3. And the bug (regression) is precisely *only* in the exit-to-ring 3 scenario when ICEBP #DB VM-exits occurs.

    5 We incorrectly reset the instruction length of the faulting ICEBP instruction while exiting to ring-3 and while restoring it, it would be restored as 0xff. Hence VT-x rightly complained that the instruction length is incorrect (should be 0-15).
     5The instruction length of the faulting ICEBP instruction while exiting to ring-3 was incorrectly being reset. Thus while restoring it on re-entry in ring-0, it gets restored as 0xff. Hence VT-x rightly complained that the instruction length is incorrect (should be 0-15).

    77The fix will be available in the next maintenance release of VirtualBox.
