Right. The only thing we're missing is soft breakpoints set in gdb
when running the guest with -s -S, as the guest kernel just isn't
there by then yet.
Copying things around in int 19 would also break this.
Yeah, I'm not pro the copying idea. This was more of a general remark
wrt what regressions we introduce.
But I guess we can live without that feature, as long as the rest
works.
You can put a hardware breakpoint on the ELF entry point and then
place your soft breakpoints.
In fact when you have a working hardware breakpoint implementation you
can still set the breakpoint with -s -S.
