QEMU's gdbstub in KVM mode is simply not designed to account for guests swapping out code pages that contain breakpoints. Due to the fact that the Linux kernel does not do these weird things to its own code,
It actually happily patches its own code at certain circumstances. If you debug early boot or suspend/resume or cpu hotplug you're likely to encounter them.
at least I never seriously thought about potential workarounds. As your approach indicates, those might become fairly guest-specific - if they can be implemented reliably at all.
