Hi, Will,
Are you happy with this?:
diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c b/arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c
+bool hw_breakpoint_enabled(void)

+struct perf_event **slots;
+int i;

+slots = this_cpu_ptr(bp_on_reg);
+for (i = 0; i core_num_brps; i++) {

Hi, Will,
Chazy and me are talking about how to reduce the saving/restoring
overhead for debug registers.
We want to add a state in hw_breakpoint.c to indicate whether the host
enable any hwbrpts or not (might export a fuction that kvm can call),
then we can read this state from memory instead of
