I don't think I understand the "only restore the registers once" bit
here.  I know I'm being incredibly stupid, but I forgot since the last
review round how this actually works; when we return from the guest and
the guest has somehow enabled certain DBG functionality, then we set the dirty
flag, which means we should stop trapping and context switch all the
registers on world-switches, but if we see when returning from the guest
that the guest doesn't appear to be using the registers we enable
trapping and stop world-switching, right?

Do we clearly define which state triggers the world-switching and why
that's a good rationale? (sorry, the debug architecture is not my
favorite part of the ARM ARM).
