Do you mean to see if kvm_guest_trfcr was non-zero (and would have to be
changed) at VCPU load? I assumed that it could be modified between load
and switch. That would mean there is no way to do it conditionally.
I also assumed that's the reason SPE and TRBE were implemented like
this, with the feat check at load and the enabled check at switch. It
doesn't feel like TRFCR is any different to those two.
Or do you mean to only set DEBUG_STATE_SAVE_TRFCR on switch if tracing
was enabled?
I suppose the names DEBUG_STATE_SAVE_SPE and DEBUG_STATE_SAVE_TRBE are
slightly misleading because neither are actually saved if they weren't
enabled. They're more like DEBUG_STATE_HAS_SPE and DEBUG_STATE_HAS_TRBE.

Oops yeah I didn't realize that this was more than a bit set/clear. I
will combine them. I think I could probably combine the TRBE/TRF set as
well.
Agree with the rest of the comments too.
