[PATCH v2 0/3] RISC-V: KVM: Guest Debug Support - Software Breakpoint Part

This series implements the “KVM Guset Debug” feature on RISC-V. This is
an existing feature which is already supported by some other arches.
It allows us to debug a RISC-V KVM guest from GDB in host side.

As the first stage, the software breakpoints (ebreak instruction) is
implemented. HW breakpoints support will come later after a synthetically
consideration with the SBI debug trigger extension.

A selftest case was added in this series. Manual test was done on QEMU
RISC-V hypervisor emulator. (add '-s' to enable the gdbserver in QEMU)

This series is based on Linux 6.8-rc6 and also available at:
https://github.com/Du-Chao/kvm-riscv/tree/guest_debug_sw_v2

The matched QEMU is available at:
https://github.com/Du-Chao/qemu/tree/riscv_gd_sw

Please note that if Paolo's change
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240131233056.10845-8-pbonzini@redhat.com/
is adopted, then we can keep 'arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h'
untouched.

Changes from v1->v2:
- Rebased on Linux 6.8-rc6.
- Maintain a hedeleg in "struct kvm_vcpu_config" for each VCPU.
- Update the HEDELEG csr in kvm_arch_vcpu_load().

Changes from RFC->v1:
- Rebased on Linux 6.8-rc2.
- Merge PATCH1 and PATCH2 into one patch.
- kselftest case added.
