[PATCH 4/7] KVM: arm64: guest debug, add SW break point support

This adds support for SW breakpoints inserted by userspace.

First we need to trap all BKPT exceptions in the hypervisor (ELS). This
in controlled through the MDCR_EL2 register. I've added a new field to
the vcpu structure to hold this value. There should be scope to
rationlise this with the VCPU_DEBUG_FLAGS/KVM_ARM64_DEBUG_DIRTY_SHIFT
manipulation in later patches.

Once the exception arrives we triggers an exit from the main hypervisor
loop to the hypervisor controller. The kvm_debug_exit_arch carries the
address of the exception. If the controller doesn't know of breakpoint
then we have a guest inserted breakpoint and the hypervisor needs to
start again and deliver the exception to guest.
