Once QEMU wants control over the debug registers, it gets switched to QEMU controlled (that code is already there). Yes, now default MSR_DE is controlled by guest and when QEMU wants to use debug resources then MSR_DEP is set, so guest cannot change MSR_DE. Thanks -Bharat Alex

[PATCH 5/6] KVM: PPC: BOOKE: Allow guest to change MSR_DE
When userspace is debugging guest then MSR_DE is always set and MSRP_DEP is set so that guest cannot change MSR_DE. Guest debug resources are not yet emulated, So there seems no reason we should stop guest controlling MSR_DE. Also a followup patch will enable debug emulation and that requires guest to control MSR_DE.
