[PATCH v4 3/4] AArch64: KGDB: Add step debugging support

From: Vijaya Kumar K <Vijaya.Kumar at caviumnetworks.com>

Add KGDB software step debugging support for EL1 debug
in AArch64 mode.

KGDB registers step debug handler with debug monitor.
On receiving 'step' command from GDB tool, target enables
software step debugging and step address is updated.
If no step address is received from GDB tool, target assumes
next step address is current PC.

Software Step debugging is disabled when 'continue' command
is received
