Do we need to do anything with the debug code? Do we have any
hardware breakpoints/watchpoints targeting kernel space (kgdb doesn't
seem to support this)?

If a breakpoint target is EL1, I don't think we trigger it when running
in the EL2/VHE mode, in which case we need a different
DBGBCR.{HMC,SSC,PMC} combination - {1,11,00}.

Another random untested patch below but we need to get Will to remember
the code he wrote (and the VHE implications):
