Implement switching of the debug registers. While the number
of registers is massive, CPUs usually don't implement them all
(A15 has 6 breakpoints and 4 watchpoints, which gives us a total
of 22 registers "only").

Notice that, for ARMv7, if the CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT is set in
the guest, debug is always actively in use (ARM_DSCR_MDBGEN set).

We have to do the save/restore dance in this case, because the host
and the guest might use their respective debug registers at any moment.
this sounds expensive, and I suggested an alternative approach in the
previsou patch.  In any case, measuring the impact on this on hardware
would be a great idea...

If the CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT is not set, and if no one flagged
the debug registers as dirty, we only save/resotre DBGDSCR.

you probably don't want to do more stores to memory than required
Yeah, there is no need to push some registers, but I can't find a better 
way to optimize it, is there any precedents that I can refer to?

Imaging that there are only 2 hwbrpts available, BCR0/BCR1, and we
can code like this:

Save:
		 jump to 1
    save BCR2 to r5
1:
    save BCR1 to r4
    save BCR0 to r3
    push {r3-r5}

Restore:
    pop {r3-r5}
    jump to 1
    restore r5 to BCR2
1:
    restore r4 to BCR1
    restore r3 to BCR0

Buf if we want to only push the registers we acutally need, we have to
code like this:

Save:
    jump to 1
    save BCR2 to r5
    push r5
1:
    save BCR1 to r4
    push r4
    save BCR0 to r3
    push r3

Resotre:
    jump to 1
    pop r5
    restore r5 to BCR2
1:
    pop r4
    restore r4 to BCR1
    pop r3
    restore r3 to BCR0

Then we might entercounter a mistake on restoring, as we want to pop
r4, but actually we pop r3.

can you not find some way of unifying cp14_pop_and_write with
cp14_ldr_and_write and cp14_read_and_push with cp14_read_and_str ?

Probably having two separate structs for the VFP state on the vcpu
struct
for both the guest and the host state is one possible way of doing so.
OK, I will do it.
Would you like me to rename the struct vfp_hard_struct, and add 
host_cp14_state in there, or add a new struct host_cp14_state in the
kvm_vcpu_arch?
