We always set MSR_DE in hw MSR when qemu using the debug resource.

We do not support deferred debug interrupt, so we do save restore dbsr.

Frankly speaking I do not see much difference :).

If we have to do as you mentioned then I think we can just do

KVM_DBG_HANDLER:
 	<debug specific handling>
 	1:
 	mtcr		r3
 	lwz		r3, VCPU_CRIT_SAVE(r4)
 	lwz		r4, \scratch
 	<KVM_HANDLER>
