Is it necessary to limit the number copied here by anything other than
what the struct supports? Userspace gave us a struct kvm_guest_debug_arch,
so let's save the whole thing. How about just

vcpu->arch.guest_debug_regs = *dbg;

This is 2 patches too early. You don't introduce this tracepoint until
later.

How about just

bool trap_debug = !(vcpu->arch.debug_flags & KVM_ARM64_DEBUG_DIRTY);

at the top instead?

Again, I don't think we need to be so precise with our copy. We can
always copy extra without problems. It's just what we use that matters.
And how about a couple helpers?

debug_regs_save_to(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct kvm_guest_debug_arch *dst)
{
  memcpy(dst->dbg_bcr, &vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, DBGBCR0_EL1), sizeof(u64)*KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS);
  memcpy(dst->dbg_bvr, &vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, DBGBVR0_EL1), sizeof(u64)*KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS);
  memcpy(dst->dbg_wcr, &vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, DBGWCR0_EL1), sizeof(u64)*KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS);
  memcpy(dst->dbg_wvr, &vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, DBGWVR0_EL1), sizeof(u64)*KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS);
}
debug_regs_restore_from(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct kvm_guest_debug_arch *src)
{
  memcpy(&vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, DBGBCR0_EL1), src->dbg_bcr, sizeof(u64)*KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS);
  memcpy(&vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, DBGBVR0_EL1), src->dbg_bvr, sizeof(u64)*KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS);
  memcpy(&vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, DBGWCR0_EL1), src->dbg_wcr, sizeof(u64)*KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS);
  memcpy(&vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, DBGWVR0_EL1), src->dbg_wvr, sizeof(u64)*KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS);
}

Here we don't bother enforcing num_brps/wrps, which is fine by me.
