I don't oversee yet what you want to push upstream, but in case it's the
gdbstub support for kvm (including ppc bits): please note that I plan to
push the new interface once it is merged into kvm-userspace, avoiding to
spread the current, limited one as far as possible.

BTW, would be great if you could have a look / provide patches for ppc
to support the new interface already. I am open for feedback,
specifically regarding its suitability beyond x86.

Thanks,
Jan
