Looking at this now, this patch description is garbage. Probably the
patch has changed over time - so I suspect it's my fault not Suzuki's.
We're not exposing anything new here. This is purely about telling the
VMM that a realm cannot (currently) be debugged. Something like the
below would be more accurate:

"""
kvm: arm64: Don't expose debug capabilities for realm guests

RMM v1.0 provides no mechanism for the host to perform debug operations
on the guest. So don't expose KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG and report 0
breakpoints and 0 watch points.

I don't think (with the above clarification) there's anything to update
in the API documentation. There's nothing new being added, just
capabilities being hidden where the functionality isn't available.

And eventually we hope to add support for this (in a later RMM spec) - I
don't yet know exactly what form this will take, but I hope to keep the
interfaces as close as possible to what we already have so that existing
tooling can be used.

Thanks,
Steve
