It turns out that on POWER7, writing to the DABR can cause a corrupted value to be written if the PMU is active and updating SDAR in continuous sampling mode. To work around this, we make sure that the PMU is inactive and SDAR updates are disabled (via MMCRA) when we are context-switching DABR. When the guest sets DABR via the H_SET_DABR hypercall, we use a slightly different workaround, which is to read back the DABR and write it again if it got corrupted. While we are at it, make it consistent that the saving and restoring of the guest's non-volatile GPRs and the FPRs are done with the guest setup of the PMU active.
