The call to activate_debugregs() doesn't write %dr7 as v->arch.debugreg[7] hasn't been updated yet, and the break skips the intended write to %dr7. Remove the break, causing execution to hit the write_debugreg(7, value); in context at the bottom of the hunk, which in turn causes hardware to be updated appropriately.
