We are looking at it now in SUSE, looks like the initial fix to the kernel postponed the check to the write to the dr7 that enabled the breakpoint, so when the dr0 wasn't enabled you could write anything there.
Also looks like somehow the EINVAL is not propagated into the POKEUSER call to the dr7 as it should have been.
