I think I agree with Philippe that the better fix is to call
kvm_arm_init_debug() from kvm_arch_init() -- if we avoid
calling this for each vcpu then we don't have to carefully arrange
to ignore all but the first call. We never actually care about
the CPUState we're passed in, so we could instead pass in the
KVMState directly, which kvm_arch_init() has.
