Subject: [RFC PATCH] KVM: arm64: don't single-step for non-emulated faults
Not all faults handled by handle_exit are instruction emulations. For
example a ESR_ELx_EC_IABT will result in the page tables being updated
but the instruction that triggered the fault hasn't actually executed
yet. We use the simple heuristic of checking for a changed PC before
seeing if kvm_arm_handle_step_debug wants to claim we stepped an
instruction.
