Now, that is something to go on!

In the same area as the hacks I sent you before, just after
the vm_save_flags() put a check to make sure that IOPL was
not 3 already before entering the VM.

  vm_save_flags(eflags);
  if ( ((eflags >> 12) & 3) != 0 ) {
    hostprint(".......\n");
    return 1;
    }
  vm_restore_flags(...);
