Are you trying to allow the guest to be simultaneously debugged by
itself and by host userspace? How does this work?
Not actually, Currently we are not partitioning debug resources
between host userspace and guest. In fact we do not emulate debug
registers for guest. But we want host userspace to pass the interrupt
to guest if it is not able to handle.
I don't understand the logic here. A debug interrupt should be
injected when the programming model in the guest says that a debug
interrupt should happen. How can that occur currently? If the guest
didn't set up the debug registers and QEMU still can't handle the
debug interrupt, that's a bug in QEMU (or KVM, or the hardware...).
Injecting the interrupt into the guest just adds another bug on top of that.
I don't think QEMU should be aware of these limitations.

Is there currently no support for a guest debugging itself (i.e.
guest_debug unset) on e500v2?
Yes, It is not yet supported (IACx/DACx/DBCR/DBSR/DSRRx are not yet
emulated).
How is it useful to inject a debug exception into the guest, until
these things are emulated?
We don't have to touch QEMU later then ;). But I agree that it would make a lot
of sense to enable guest debugging along the way - it can't be that hard, no?
Copy pasting my response in another email:
"
Ok, Till we add support for guest to used debug resource, can we say that userspace will still try to inject debug interrupt (as it does not know guest capability) to guest but KVM will:
- clear guest dbsr
Can we fake the value of DBSR that the guest sees?
