[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v1 02/22] cpu-common: add debug version of physical memory read/write

[Brijesh Singh]

The patch adds the following new APIs:
- cpu_physical_memory_read_debug
- cpu_physical_memory_write_debug

These API's can be used when reading/writing guest physical memory for
debugging purposes. In next patch will update the hmp monitor memory
dump commands (xp, info mem, info tlb etc) to use this API instead of
cpu_physical_memory_read() to access the guest physical memory.

The idea behind this patch is that in case of SEV-enabled guest we
need a method to identify whether the memory access is for debug
purposes.

If all the debug access requests are done through these API's then
we can create/set special sev specific MemTxAttrs to indicate that
RAM access is for debugg purposes and use SEV debug commands to
read and write guest memory for debug purposes.
