No, not automatically, or without someone from KVM letting me know what side-effects that may have. Not stopping on a breakpoint is not that critical, it may be a bit annoying. I would ask the KVM maintainers if they feel it's critical enough for backporting, but without hearing from them, I would leave it be.

Sure. Even if it has a subtle regression, that's a critical bug being fixed.

I would consider unlocking a mutex that one didn't lock a critical bug, so yes.
Again, things that deal with locking or buffer overflows, I would take the fix, as those are critical. But other behavior issues where it's not critical, I would leave be unless told further by someone else.
