[PATCH] bookehv: Handle debug exception on guest exit

EPCR.DUVD controls whether the debug events can come in
hypervisor mode or not. When KVM guest is using the debug
resource then we do not want debug events to be captured
in guest entry/exit path. So we set EPCR.DUVD when entering
and clears EPCR.DUVD when exiting from guest.

Debug instruction complete is a post-completion debug
exception but debug event gets posted on the basis of MSR
before the instruction is executed. Now if the instruction
switches the context from guest mode (MSR.GS = 1) to hypervisor
mode (MSR.GS = 0) then the xSRR0 points to first instruction of
KVM handler and xSRR1 points that MSR.GS is clear
(hypervisor context). Now as xSRR1.GS is used to decide whether
KVM handler will be invoked to handle the exception or host
host kernel debug handler will be invoked to handle the exception.
This leads to host kernel debug handler handling the exception
which should either be handled by KVM.

This is tested on e500mc in 32 bit mode

 - Do not apply this change for debug_crit as we do not know those chips have issue or not.
 - corrected 64bit case branching
