Agreed.

I don't follow. Changes to mdcr_el2 will only get applied as we jump in
through the hyp.S code. We need to ensure the guest can use SW BKPTs if
we are not.

You mean a BUG_ON()? Although it would be a cock up on the hosts part to
have an un-handled exception enabled allowing the guest to trigger a
host panic seems excessive.
