Thanks for taking a look over this.

Currently we have no code in place for guest single stepping, but since
we're looking into making use of Intel's VMFUNC and #VE, I'm sure a
need for a feature like this will arrise. Or _maybe_ we can make it
part of the #PF handling code and have the introspection tool respond
with ALLOW and an EPT view ID and have KVM automatically switch, single
step, switch back and resume, if that makes sense for everybody.

Regards,
