This parameter will be used by VMX and SVM code to force
interception of a set of exceptions, given by a bitmask
for guest debug and/or kvm debug.
This option is not intended for production.
This is based on an idea first shown here:

That's nice.
I could use some text explaning the usage though, i.e. that thing takes
a bitfield of exception vectors, so that I don't have to look at the
code each time. :-)
Thx.
