PATCH 1/1 KVM: Rework of guest debug state writing

So far we synchronized any dirty VCPU state back into the kernel before updating the guest debug state. This was a tribute to a deficit in x86 kernels before KVM_CAP_X86_ROBUST_SINGLESTEP. But as this is an arch-dependent issue, it is better handle in the x86 part of KVM and remove the writeback point for generic code. This also avoids overwriting the flushed state later on if user space decides to change some more registers before resuming the guest.

We furthermore need to reinject guest exceptions via the appropriate mechanism. That is KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG for older kernels and KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS for recent ones. Using both mechanisms at the same time will cause state corruptions.

This patch combines the already merged upstream bits of the guest debug rework in qemu-kvm/master and the recently posted KVM_CAP_X86_ROBUST_SINGLESTEP add-on.
