[PATCH v2 08/11] KVM: arm: implement dirty bit mechanism for debug registers

Sat May 30 21:27:09 PDT 2015
The trapping code keeps track of the state of the debug registers,
allowing for the switch code to implement a lazy switching strategy.

+ * On guest entry:

+ * - If debug is actively in use (ARM_DSCR_MDBGEN set),
+ * set the dirty bit, disable the traps, save host registers,
+ * restore guest registers.
+ * - Otherwise, enable the traps

+ * On guest exit:

+ * registers and clear the dirty bit. This ensure that the host can
