If QEMU changes the KVM's registers, it needs to call write_list_to_kvmstate() to write the cpu->cpreg_values[] list
to KVM through KVM_SET_ONE_REG IOCTL[1]. In Qemu, now it should not have software path to change the cpu->cpreg_values[] list
except write_cpustate_to_list(). Here I can also call write_cpustate_to_list() instead of kvm_arm_cpreg_value() to change
cpu->cpreg_values[] list, but the write_cpustate_to_list() will write all the coprocessor state to the cpu->cpreg_values[] list,
we can not sure all the coprocessor states are right, so here I only change corresponding index value in this list using kvm_arm_cpreg_value().

Breakpoint injection that you mentioned should not change KVM register or not in the KVM mode.

[1]:
 kvm_arch_put_registers()
  -> write_list_to_kvmstate()
    -> write cpu->cpreg_values[] to the kernel KVM through KVM_SET_ONE_REG
