Is this just the kernel not supporting this, or would QEMU need
to change as well? Worth mentioning either way.

Why do we need a new EXCP value here? In hardware watchpoints
are reported via a particular syndrome value and (for AArch32)
as Data Aborts, so I would expect that we would just do the same.
The code in this patch doesn't seem to treat EXCP_WAPT any
differently from EXCP_DABT...

If you just want to improve our debug logging that should be
a separate patch.

Do we need a similar change in the AArch32 do_interrupt
code, to handle the case of debugging a 32-bit guest?

Not sure the comment is providing any useful information now;
it probably should either be more explanatory or just deleted.

You need to do at least some manipulation of the HSR, surely?
For instance, the EC value for "watchpoint from lower exception
level" and "watchpoint from current exception level" are different,
so if this was a wp from EL1 then it'll be reported to KVM (at EL2)
as the former, but if we reflect it into the EL1 guest it should
become the latter.

Breakpoints and watchpoints need to set env->exception.fsr too.
You need to set env->exception.target_el as well (patches for
that have now hit master).

I also feel it would be better to set all of hsr/exception_index/
vaddress within the switch cases handling each type of exception,
possibly with a fallback for "generic something's wrong". I think
they turn out to be different enough to make it worth doing, and
it's easier to review the code and be clear that every case is
setting a coherent set of values.
