Try printing CPUX86State through gdb and the filed used to do the save/restore
are the same. Have done the check for mtrr_var and the value are same for both
src and dst. And looks like it was never used by kvm.

One byte delta for virtio-blk section at offset 377. And also get delta for ide
section ( so I didn't try your patch of stopping bh of ide becuse for virtio-blk
we even do not use ide ).
