nit: I think you want "set up" when it's a verb.

This paragraph is a little hard to make sense of. If I understand it
correctly, the point is that when debugging the guest we need to make
sure guest accesses to the debug registers traps? If so, I would
suggest something like:

Additionally, KVM only traps guest accesses to the debug registers if
the guest is not actively using them (see the KVM_ARM64_DEBUG_DIRTY
flag on vcpu->arch.debug_flags). Since the guest must not interfere
with the hardware state when debugging the guest, we must ensure that
trapping is enabled whenever we are debugging the guest.

As the other reviewers noted, this is now setting the number of PMU
counters accessible to 0. I'm fine with always setting mdcr_el2 from
memory, but I think we need to add code in hyp-init.S to read PMCR_EL0.N
and store that in a per-cpu (not vcpu) variable and configure mdcr_el2
using that value in kvm_arch_set_debug(), but then you need to call
kvm_arch_set_debug() from a non-preemptible section, which is probably a
good idea anyway. Note that I couldn't see that we are initializing
MDCR_EL2 anywhere, so that should probably be a separate fix.

Thanks,
