Use KVM_CAP_X86_GUEST_DEBUG_CR3 to advertise this. During guest debugging, the value of CR3 can be used by VM debuggers to (roughly) identify the process running in the guest. This can be used to index debugging events by process, or filter events from some processes and quickly skip them. Currently, debuggers would need to use the KVM_GET_SREGS ioctl on every event to get the value of CR3, which considerably slows things down. This can be easily avoided by adding the value of CR3 to the captured debugging info.
